Mr. James Mulligan, millionaire and owner of Telecom, Inc., a multi-billion dollar telecommunications company was found dead in his private office in his home at 8:20pm last night. He had been stabbed through the heart by a sharp object. When he was found he was sitting at his desk with a pen in one hand. In this class, students will each be given a set of clues via private message in class. They will be responsible for sharing their clues with the class and listening to other students' clues. We will go over the vocabulary deduction, witness, and victim. We will review the important question words and what we should ask to solve a mystery. Students will come up with a hypothesis, and I will let them know how close they are. After solving the mystery, students will review what they could have done more effectively. The clues given include information on where certain characters were and when, who had money and who had motive, and what each suspect told the police.

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. Reviews
