Class Experience

It's time for another round of solving the cases!  These cases are slightly harder than before and require more in-depth thinking and reasoning.  Students who have enjoyed solving the riddles in my Who Wants to be a Super Sleuth classes will enjoy this 4 week class. Each class prompts students to sharpen their thinking skills while refining their questions.  

Each class will have a new mystery to solve as these "detectives" put on their detective hat (literally or figuratively) as they try to crack the case before the time runs out. Students can dress up as their favorite super sleuth or make up their own sleuth they want to be. 

Students will work together as a team, asking yes/no questions to discover the solution to the riddle.  It will be an informal and lively conversation.  They will solve the case by the end of class.  If times allows, they could bring their own cases and let myself and the other students solve their case.

Learning Goals

Students will solve a case (aka mystery) by asking yes or no questions.

Students will use critical thinking skills to ask questions.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Michigan Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education

I am a certified teacher with over 24 years of teaching experience.  I have other classes on Outschool that deal with critical thinking.  I have also taught these classes to homeschool co-ops and small groups of middle students in private settings.  These mystery classes are a fun way to practice using critical thinking skills.
