Description
Bring critical thinking to life with this HYBRID CSI WhoDunnit Mystery, perfect for classrooms, digital learning, and enrichment days!
The Hoagie Hoax is a high-engagement crime scene investigation that strengthens inference, deductive reasoning, close reading, and evidence analysis through a hands-on OR fully digital Google Slides format.
Students become detectives as they analyze witness statements, alibis, trace evidence, motives, and digital clues. Their investigation ends with a hands-on Dirt Analysis Test (or digital alternative) that reveals the true culprit.
This activity boosts logic skills, keeps students focused, and is consistently reviewed as fun, rigorous, and easy to prep.
Ideal for grades 4–7, early finishers, sub plans, enrichment, or distance learning.

- Teacher Notes + Answer Keys
