Summary:This lesson encourages students to determine details and then to use them as they write their own mystery.
Description:"This lesson encourages students to determine details and then to use them as they write their own mystery. Every core subject during a student's day utilizes detective skills. Developing the ability to problem solve will empower a student. Have students check the History Detective Codebreaker for investigative steps: analyze, then investigate, next understand, and finally test. In math, you read and look at a problem, search for the method of solving it, question until you come to understand it, and finally test your solution. In science, you begin with a problem, form a hypothesis, work toward understanding, and eventually test your ideas. When you read, you analyze the text, question to investigate, restate to understand, and finally test your understanding through summary or writing. You act as a historian in your history class, searching and discovering information, finding and piecing together scenarios, examining clues, and arriving at a conclusion you can prove. Knowing the details is essential to a arriving at a solution, so you have to analyze each clue carefully. The more you practice organizing, gathering and analyzing your clues the better you'll become at solving problems. Detective work is a hands-on investigation."
