Mystery Unit Final Project

Hi Everyone!

We have something new to share with you. We just wrapped up our Mystery Unit. We read about Amelia Earhart, Sherlock Holmes, the Lochness Monster, the Bermuda Triangle, Optical Illusions, and the Chinese Emperor Shi Huangdi and the terra cotta warriors. In small groups, we created collages representing three mystery stories. We included pictures related to the setting, time period and details of the story.

We learned some new vocabulary related to mystery stories. Mysteries still surround us today in our lives in current events, movies, books, and TV shows. We hope you enjoy our collages. Please comment below! Stay tuned for more posts soon!

    These posters are great! I was surprised to see that Danny wasn't in the group that did "The Red Headed Club"...I'm sure you can guess why! I liked how Bervelie, Quinn, and Shane put their collage in the shape of an airplane. That was a creative way to make a collage for Amelia Earhart. I don't know too much about the Loch Ness Monster, but it sounds pretty scary. I'll need to be careful if I'm ever swimming in Scotland. Yikes!

      Dear Miss Brandt,

      We are glad that you enjoyed our blog post. The class read the play of The Red-Headed Club, which was one of our favorites stories in the mystery unit. We worked really hard on the posters and they came out great. Each person worked hard on their piece, and we couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. The posters taught us a lot about each story, and we really enjoyed creating them. We look forward to you reading our blog in the future.


      Thanks for reading our blog! Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble gobble. : )

    The posters look great. I am going to come by and check them out in person. I am familiar with some of these stories but not all of them so I think the posters will help me. Personally I enjoy mysteries and I think the poster is a great way to share information about these stories. I was bragging about your Blog to our new Athletic Director, Mr. Bifulco, and he was impressed with what he saw. Great work and as always thanks for including me.

      Hi Dr. Keenan,

      Thanks for commenting on our latest blog post. We’re glad you enjoyed the posters! It’s interesting that you gave our blog a mention to the new Athletic Director. We’re glad to hear that he was impressed with the blog. It was also interesting that you enjoy mysteries; we were learning about mysteries in class around the first quarter. You can come to look at the posters in person anytime you want. We look forward for more comments from you.

      Thanks for commenting! Happy Thanksgiving!

    Awesome job class, your collages look great. I loving reading about the Loch Ness Monster. Do you think Nessie really exist? Amelia Earhart was extremely brave with her flying adventures.

      Hi Mr. McGuinness,

      Thanks for commenting on our post, and some of us think that the Loch Ness Monster is real. We agree that Amelia Earhart was a brave woman.

      Happy Thanksgiving!
