Whodunnit? The murder at Muchley Manor
A fun 'Whodunnit' mystery for students to solve! Students work in teams in order to solve the crime and find the murderer, testing their skills with a range of core English and SPaG tasks.
Groups work their way through the Muchley Manor PowerPoint task to complete the following activities:
- a word unscrambling or anagram task to identify hidden words inside FORENSIC INVESTIGATION
- a homophone task for there/they're/their
- a note-taking task for the characters
- an punctuation activity to correct the use of capital letters
- a code-cracking activity using hieroglyphics
- an activity to identify simple adjectives
- a riddle-deciphering task
- a task asking students to sequence instructions
- an activity to identify the true and false grammatical rules.
Finally, students list the words they have found to make their accusation and reveal the murderer!
Fantastic as a one-off lesson or end-of-term treat. Recommended!
An example task from the lesson PowerPoint:
How many words of three letters or more can you make from the letters in the word …
FORENSIC INVESTIGATION
You can use each letter only once unless it appears more than once. You have three minutes!
