The Eleventh Hour: A Curious Mystery
This unit for The Eleventh Hour: A Curious Mystery by Graeme Base was developed with gifted students in mind. The puzzles presented are challenging, engaging, and varied. Along with visual puzzles, there is plentiful word play, including puns, idioms, and ambiguity of language which requires students to make leaps of inference and hone deductive reasoning skills.
Included in this resource, you will find:
A detailed unit plan
Student detective pages, including clue notes for each illustration
Prediction and reflection journal pages, requiring students to use inferencing, deductive reasoning, and justifications for answers
Concept attainment pages to help students understand the concepts of puns and idioms
At-a-Glance teacher keys to help you guide students in their puzzling
Hint Cards to help prompt students if they should struggle on any given puzzle
Code keys to help decipher hidden messages
A Critical Thinking Rubric to assess student problem-solving processes
