Character/Suspect Chart Murder on the Orient Express
I designed this for my students as we're reading Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, to help them keep track of all of the characters and the various pieces of evidence throughout the text. This was designed for an 8th grade class, but could be used for grades 6th-12th, depending on the reading level of the students. Murder on the Orient Express is a great book, but might be too advanced (in terms of vocabulary) for some middle school students.

As we read, they can navigate the text much better because they have a basic understanding of the setting/plot/characters. Here, the dialogue is separated in chronological order within the act and asks the students to
