Kindly note: This is an ESL friendly class, CEFR level — C1, C2 (Advanced) Please feel free to write me via Outschool email with questions. *** Any of the five of them could have done it. But which of them did? Somehow the "Little Pigs" nursery rhyme keeps running through Poirot's mind. What does it mean? And can Poirot in fact solve what appears to be an utterly unsolvable case, one that occurred sixteen years in the past? Five suspects. Clever, intriguing, and enthralling, Agatha Christie's Five Little Pigs is also the perfect book to learn both the technique of Spar debating and to maximize critical thinking to become as acute an observer and insightful a thinker as the man with "the little grey cells" Hercule Poirot. Spar Mystery: Self-Paced Subscription Christie's Five Little Pigs Through Debate is the first of my own series of Spar Mystery classes to be available in Self-Paced Subscription. The Spar Mystery series began with my own Spar Mystery!: Understanding The Hound of the Baskervilles Through Debate and continued with Spar Mystery 2!: Understanding Agatha Christie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd Through Debate and Spar Mystery 3: Understanding Christie's And Then There Were None Through Debate. (All currently live classes). It is not necessary to have taken Spar Mystery!: Understanding The Hound of the Baskervilles Through Debate or Spar Mystery 2!: Understanding The Murder of Roger Ackroyd Through Debate, or Spar Mystery 3: Understanding Christie's And Then There Were None Through Debate or Spar Mystery 4: Understanding Christie's A Murder is Announced Through Debate first before taking this class. No previous experience in debate is necessary for this class. Five Little Pigs is is one of Christie's best-selling mysteries and considered one of her finest creations featuring her detective, Hercule Poirot. A wealthy young woman due to be married, Carla Lemarchant, comes to Poirot with an extraordinary request: exonerate her mother, Caroline Crale. Sixteen years earlier Caroline Crale was convicted of murdering her husband and Carla's father, the renowned painter, Amyas Crale. While Caroline died in prison, her daughter believes that she was innocent. Against all odds, Poirot chooses to revisit this cold case, piecing together clues from the past to track down a culprit who for decades may truly have "gotten away with murder." Each class in Spar Mystery will feature an introduction with games and lateral thinking mind puzzles to give self-paced learners the opportunity to further sharpen their critical thinking skills. Optional writing assignments will be provided as well to give self-paced learners the opportunity to explore creative writing. The techniques for Spar Debate will be explored and shown by example in each session. Learners will be given the guidance to do Spar Debate on their own. Spar Mystery follows the same format as my own Spar Lit Sr: Understanding Essays Through Speech and Debate and Spar Lit Sr: Understanding Short Stories Through Speech and Debate. Our 6-session class will focus on understanding the acknowledged technique of Spar debating with understanding Five Little Pigs through debate and discussion. Spar means “SPontaneous ARgumentation” a quicktime technique that is used to prepare students for formal debate. Our class will present Spar questions to explore dive deep into one of the finest mysteries in history, No previous experience in speech or debate is necessary for full participation in this class. The result? Self-paced learners will gain experience in taking positions on key issues involving intriguing literary questions, while gaining a nuanced and thorough understanding both sides of every issue. Spar Debate questions will focus on the literary aspect of each lesson from the book and the Spar questions are evidence-based from the chapters themselves. Clear direction will be given on how learners can do Spar Debating on their own. **** In our sessions, visual and verbal examples of Spar Debating will be provided so learners can utilize the technique on their own.

Five Little Pigs by Agatha Christie was originally published in 1942. It is essential for families to remember that at this period in history ideas of casual racism and anti-semitism were rife in throughout society, including in Britain where this novel is set. The essay “Death on the Nile and Addressing Racism in Agatha Christie” on BBC.com quotes Vike Martina Plock, a professor of modern literature and culture at the University of Exeter in the UK:
“However, she says that censoring the books in such a way was a mistake – as she believes that, for the most part, Christie was not being racist herself in her novels, but rather reflecting the racist attitudes of her time and leaving them open to critique. "It made the [censored] novels less socially critical as documents of their time because I do think Christie's novels criticise racism rather than perpetuating [it]," she says. "The racism depicted in the books draws attention to the fact that it was very dominant in the culture in which Christie was living.”
We will discuss how the world has changed and thinking has expanded since this period. It’s important to note that subsequent filmed versions of this novel and other Christie novels, including recent the recent Death on the Nile and Murder on the Orient Express directed by Kenneth Branagh, consciously choose to significantly diversify the cast omitting hurtful stereotypes and focusing on the puzzle/mystery aspects of of the books. James Pritchard, great-grandson of Agatha Christie and head of Agatha Christie LTD quoted in an essay on RTL, that his great-grandmother ‘“would not have liked the idea that someone is hurt by his (sic) turns of phrase’ “When the book was written, the language was different. Agatha Christie was above all there to entertain.”
We will address these issues in the first class and throughout the sessions.
While Five Little Pigs was written for an adult audience, publisher HarperAcademic.com, a division of publisher William Morrow, notes that Christie novels work exceptionally well for developing critical thinking in both middle and high school students.
Five Little Pigs is of course a murder mystery, and while the descriptions of the murder or murders are not intensely graphic, there is mention of knives, firearms, and poisons as well as mentions of suicide that are essential to the themes of the story.

PLEASE NOTE: As of March 26, 2023 The Guardian has reported that "Several Agatha Christie novels have been edited to remove potentially offensive language, including insults and references to ethnicity.
Poirot and Miss Marple mysteries written between 1920 and 1976 have had passages reworked or removed in new editions published by HarperCollins to strip them of language and descriptions that modern audiences find offensive, especially those involving the characters Christie’s protagonists encounter outside the UK." It has not yet been determined which books will be reworked and the new editions are not yet published. As soon as these new editions become available I will be recommending they be used for this class. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/mar/26/agatha-christie-novels-reworked-to-remove-potentially-offensive-language#:~:text=Poirot%20and%20Miss%20Marple%20mysteries%20written%20between%201920%20and%201976,protagonists%20encounter%20outside%20the%20UK.
