Class experience
Detective Higdon is back with another tough case full of twists and turns! This mystery is so head scratching that it will take us 3 days to "Crack This Case"! Famous Hollywood movie star, Muffy Bubblesworth, has been reported missing from her multi-million dollar mansion! And what's more....a ransom note was found at the scene of the crime!

Students will practice inferencing and deductive reasoning. Students will have to formulate theories, then use text evidence to support those ideas and opinions. Team work skills will be strengthened through this activity.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
This class is meant to be a lighthearted and fun way to practice inferencing, visualizing, and deductive thinking. There are no dark themes or mature content as related to law enforcement or criminal activity. There is a very short video clip from a "surveillance camera" that shows someone entering into another person's home. This in an actor pretending to break in. If your child might be bothered by this, you may want to explain that it is pretend before class starts.
