SHOW THEM TO ANYONE YOU MAY NOT MOVE FROM YOUR SEAT IT IS UP TO THE GROUP TO DECIDE HOW TO

SOLVE THE MYSTERY ALL SHARING OF CLUES MUST BE DONE

YOU MUST SOLVE THE MYSTERY BY ANSWERING THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:◦ Who was the MURDERER?◦ What was the murder WEAPON?◦ What TIME did the murder take place?◦ WHERE did the murder take place?◦ WHY did the murder take place? (MOTIVE)

◦ ALL GROUP MEMBERS MUST AGREE ON ALL ANSWERS

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

FOLD IT, SO IT LOOKS LIKE THIS:

Name, period, date

Write the questions in the left hand column

Write your answers in the right hand column

REMEMBER, THESE SHOULD BE WRITTEN ON THE LEFT:

How did the leader of the group become the leader?

Was he/she the right person for the job? Explain why or why not.

Based on your scale of moral values (think about our Antigone rankings) who do you think would have been the best leader and why?

What frustrated you about this process? How did you react to those frustrations?
