During a school reunion, a scream is heard from one of the classrooms. It's 8:30pm. A few minutes later, the dead body of Miss Eliza McGowan, a cranky old English teacher, is found. She has been hit on the head. Also found were a number of items that may lead to the killer. In this class, each student will be assigned a character to play in our mystery. They will be paired to ask questions and discover information about where each character was and what they were doing at the time of the murder. They will gather their information by taking notes then interviewing a different partner. After all discussions have taken place, the students will work out together who did it and why. This part of class will help them practice speaking in front of a group and considering others' ideas.
Learning Goals
Students will
-practice discussion skills and listening to others' ideas
-improve their problem solving skills
-practice their speaking skills in front of a small group
Other Details
Parental Guidance

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Laurel, and I have a passion for learning. I love making learning fun for children and engaging them in the material.
I have worked with children ages three to eighteen, teaching both English and Spanish. I learned Spanish through immersion while I lived in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. My husband is from Nicaragua, and meeting him was the reason I became interested in learning another language. Now, I speak Spanish fluently and am working on mastering my fourth and fifth languages. Learning various languages has given me insight on the best and most effective ways to learn and begin speaking from the beginning.
I plan to teach a variety of courses that focus on the languages I love and on my other passion- English literature.
