What educators are saying

I used this with my (highly) gifted 2nd grader and she absolutely loved it. She loved how silly the story was and being able to put all the pieces together or go on tangents about what crazy plot she could construct about what might have happened.
I love using these mysteries to engage students for review or when I need to have a substitute. They love solving the cases!

TARGETS

- Reading

- Comprehension

- Making Inferences

- Main Idea

- Synonyms

- Antonyms

- Drawing Conclusions

- Analyzing Text for Clues

- Critical Thinking

In this packet, you will receive:

- Teacher instructions

- The introduction page to set the stage

- Case File Templates: Suspect page, evidence page, note-taking page.

*****NEW optional table format is given in a separate PDF file, which you may prefer to use instead of the original suspect/evidence pages.

- Reading and activity worksheets: most worksheets will involve reading and answering comprehension questions. Two worksheets will be a crack the code style with vocabulary work - Synonyms and Antonyms.

(There are seven pages for the investigation in total)

- I've put the original worksheets on Google Slides, too, to help with distance learning and paperless classroom needs.

- Solution declaration page (students will be required to write or choose important clues to convict a suspect! Two options are provided for this section.)

- Answer sheets and solution guide

- Printable awards to give to students who solve the case correctly!

This style of mystery is different from my Math Mystery range. In these Literacy Mysteries, students will be building their own suspect files, drawing out their own clues from the text, critically thinking to solve who the culprit is, and then providing enough evidence to convict a suspect! Making inferences is a big part of this activity.

I would love to hear how this goes with your students to help me further develop this new range. Please let me know via the feedback option or by emailing me at jjresourcecreations@gmail.com with any suggestions.
