------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Do these come with 3 clues or 5 clues?
Both! There are 2 versions so you can use the version that works best with your class. Or, you could differentiate and use the 3 clue version with some students and the 5 clue version with other groups. Both versions lead to the same conclusion/culprit, ensuring that students will not be aware of the different leveled assignments.
How do I use this with my students?
You can use this whole group, small group, in partners, table groups, independently, as homework, and more! Students in K-1 will need support reading the directions the first few times they complete these mysteries. I'd suggest completing them with teacher support in whole group or small groups for K-1. For grades 2-5, partners, table groups, and independent practice is appropriate. As students become more comfortable, working in pairs and independently will become more feasible.
Are the phonics/grammar mysteries the same as the math mysteries?
No—phonics and grammar mysteries are completely different! They use their own set of clues, target grammar or phonics skills, and end with a unique conclusion. The only shared piece is the starting list of suspects, but each mystery reveals a different culprit. Check out the preview to see the differences in detail—you can absolutely purchase both and enjoy solving the mystery twice!
Is a digital version included?
Yes! The digital version is available in Google Slides and the link is included in the printable PDF. You can download the Google Slides to use in PowerPoint if needed as well.
What should students do if they finish early?
A fast finisher directed drawing activity is included for students who finish early! There is also a certificate of completion for every student. You could also have students work on incomplete assignments or read a book.
