Mystery Novel

Yesterday we took notes about mysteries.

1. Identify the crime. (What happened? When and where did it happen?)
2. Identify the suspects. (Who possibly committed the crime? Who has the motive, or why would the suspect commit the crime?)
3. Identify the clues. Check the alibis. (How does the suspect's excuse match the evidence?)

Today we started reading a mystery novel And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. Ten characters are invited to Soldier Island. We identified each guest by name and discussed why they are going to the island.

1. General Macarthur
2. Anthony Marston
3. Philip Lombard
4. Dr. Armstrong
5. Justice Wargrave
6. Vera Claythorne
7. William Blore
8. Emily Brent
9. Thomas Rogers
10. Ethel Rogers

On Monday students will work in groups and write profiles about two of the characters using the chart below.
