What educators are saying
The students really enjoyed this activity--they immediately wanted to solve more mysteries! There were good character options.
I used this resource along with several other resources to create a fairy tale unit for summer school students. It's a wonderful resource to help students grasp concepts that otherwise intimidate them in a regular class setting. The students loved working with this mystery. They had a lot of fun.
Description
FAIRY TALE WEDDING MYSTERY ACTIVITY PACKET
You are cordially invited to the Fairy Tale Wedding of Prince Charming and Cinderella. Oops! They've been kidnapped! Whodunit? Why?
Bring literature to life while writing your own ending to a highly interactive event that immerses students in literary terms and research first hand. After engaging in discussion and research into the fairy tale genre of literature, players take the roles of various fairy tale characters and function as both suspects and investigators to get to the bottom of this despicable crime. Following this event (perfect for kinesthetic learners, mixed ability groups and drama clubs or an end of school event that will make them ever so briefly wish they were in summer school)
Kit includes character dossiers for 14 primary suspects, (the rest of the class chooses their own characters), a host pack with complete instructions for a fun hands on event and the clues that will give your students hands experience using the scientific method.
Activity packet also contains:
A brief overview, suggestions, timeline, an optional invitation, rules, The Jury Speaks form, lesson plan ideas and interdisciplinary activities (English/science) and 4 graphic organizers for pre and post classroom assignments. Writing prompts and graphic organizers are included in both .PDF and Power Point versions.
A quick overview of plot and characters:

Lady Tremain -the wicked step mother. Could she be determined to foul things up?
Step sister Anastasia - What would jealousy drive her to?
