Description
This Readers’ Theater brain teaser mystery script will give Middle School students practice in reading, comprehension and writing, while having lots of ELA and Drama fun. The Mystery of the Haunted House makes your students into 'whodunit' detectives, performing inference tasks and drawing conclusions from four spooky clues. This humorous, realistic script is intended for about 9 students, but the number of readers can easily be contracted or expanded depending on how many groups you wish to have.
Question sheets and answers are included.
PLOT
This high-interest, 11 page script revolves around the claim that a house is haunted. A boy seeking to raise money for a fashionable new pair of basketball shoes is trying to pull a scam. Only the teamwork of 12 year old twins (a sister and brother) can solve the four clues to reveal the scheme. Your students will enjoy testing their wits against those of the characters!
STUDENT TASKS
-- Students have to read their own role.
-- Students participate in the sound effects.
-- Students discuss, then solve the mystery.
-- They discuss and write on six questions and complete a journal entry.
-- They design a ‘spot the difference’ drawing for a fellow student.
-- The resource ends with two pages of spooky jokes. These jokes have been separated from their punchlines. Students have to use their comprehension skills to reunite the jokes and answers.
