No one questioned the 5th grade teacher asking for crime tape. The community must have known that we were up to fun things again in 5th grade. Something awful occurred prior to students arrival Wednesday morning because when students came in there was evidence of a crime. What on earth happened? The lunch tray and the spilled milk might have given it away.
The purpose-- well we have been studying the point of view a story is told in. Today students were given the change to retell the store using only the clues given. They had to use the evidence and create a scene that used first, second, and third point of view. Students worked in teams to collaborate a story. They were allowed to write the story, type it, or video it. The students seemed to really get into creating their own point of view's using our murder mystery.
