None of Samuel W. Westing's heirs expected to be invited to play a game. None of the heirs knew that Mr. Westing had been murdered. None of the heirs were prepared to hear that the killer was one of THEM. Now, all 16 heirs must determine who killed Sam Westing before they become victims as well. Ellen Raskin's "The Westing Game" is a novel geared towards students aged 9-12. One of the most challenging aspects of this novel is that there are many characters. In this course, students will receive a character tracking sheet in order to write down descriptions, details, and clues about the many characters they will encounter throughout this book. All reading will take place in class so that we can practice reading fluency, analysis, and summarizing out loud together. Students will be asked to read out loud, so please ensure that your learner knows this ahead of time. Students will also receive vocabulary lists and activities that consist of words found in "The Westing Game." Between each session, I will post at least one question for students to write about or think about relating to the story. The best part about this course is that students will have the opportunity to step into Ellen Raskin's shoes and become the author. Towards the end of the novel, we will stop reading. Students will receive directions and guidance about writing their own ending to the book. They will need to take into account the things that have happened in the novel and explain the mystery through events, dialogue, and character actions. Once students have finished their novel endings, we will continue reading to see how Ellen Raskin ends her story. The following is a course schedule. Meeting 1: The Westing Game Introduction. Students are given character tracking sheets. Read and discuss chapters 1 and 2. Meeting 2: Read and discuss chapters 3 and 4. Meeting 3: Read and discuss chapters 5, 6, and 7. Meeting 4: Read and discuss chapter 8. Meeting 5: Read and discuss chapters 9, 10, and 11. Meeting 6: Read and discuss chapters 12 and 13. Meeting 7: Read and discuss chapters 14 and 15. Meeting 8: Read and discuss chapters 16 and 17. Discuss theories and evidence. Meeting 9: Read and discuss chapters 18 and 19. Meeting 10: Read and discuss chapters 20 and 21. Meeting 11: Read and discuss chapters 22 and 23 Meeting 12: Begin chapter 24. We will pause reading. Students will be introduced to the writing assignment, and they will begin brainstorming ideas. Meeting 13: Writing check-in. Review dialogue formatting. Meeting 14: Students will have the opportunity to share their ending of the book with their classmates. We will resume reading chapter 24. Meeting 15: Read and discuss chapters 25 and 26. Meeting 16: Finish reading The Westing Game. Discuss foreshadowing- hints the author gave along the way about the ending.

This story is a murder mystery for kids. It isn't particularly scary or gory. The person whose death is being looked into isn't even dead (but please don't tell your learner.) Please see Common Sense Media for more information. Feel free to reach out to me through Outschool messaging as well.

I will post vocabulary games such as Quizlet and Blooket for students to review vocabulary from the book. Students do not need accounts to access these.
I ask that students use Google Docs to write and submit their final writing assignment. If they prefer to hand write, I will also take a picture of their work.
