⭐Implementation suggestions

There are many ways to use this resource; some include:

• Complete as a whole class on your Interactive Whiteboard. Students take turns reading the passages and then answer questions.
• Assign your students to complete it independently or in pairs on a device. They could do this as an early finisher task, during your literacy block, or for homework.
• Optional: Add a timer per clue or solve the whole mystery to make it like a digital escape room! Another option is to team up in small groups and make it a competition to see who can solve it first!

⭐What you will need:

• A steady Internet connection
• Computer access—This can be used on any device with an internet connection and browser, such as PCs, Macs, IWBs, and tablet devices.
• Optional: Print the tracking and recording page provided in this download. However, if you prefer to skip this part, it can easily be substituted with a workbook or plain paper.

⭐How long will this activity take?

This varies depending on your students' age and reading level. If you want to keep your class at the same point, I recommend pacing the clues one by one. There are five clues, so one clue a day works well as a reading activity throughout the week.
