"Just after midnight, the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. One of his fellow passengers must be the murderer. "Isolated by the storm, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer among a dozen of the dead man's enemies, before the murderer decides to strike again". - Citation provided below! As we read Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, students will have the opportunity to read one of her most famous Hercule Poirot novels. Poirot's quirky mustachioed personality is incredibly engaging to students and they will enjoy working through the mystery as we figure out who committed the murder on the train. Our class will be filled with discussions and collaborative activities where students will have the chance to interact with one another and with the text while debating the crime in order to solve the mystery. Posted below is a schedule of the discussion topics and activities we will be going through. While these topics will all be ones that we will cover, the schedule may shift slightly as the class goes on based on student interests and needs. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! Citation: Christie, Agatha. Murder on the Orient Express. New York, Agatha Christie Limited, 1934.

Orientación para padres
While this is not a review for the novel, this link is to the CommonSenseMedia article on Murder on the Orient Express movie. The movie is a pretty good representation of the novel's violence. As it is a murder mystery, our discussions will center around crimes and the violence centered around them. Students are encouraged to reach out about these topics and to ask questions if they have any struggles with both myself and their parents. Please feel free to reach out about if you have any questions or concerns!
