Today we started our unit on Mysteries. I created a fun interactive notebook page to introduce the elements of a mystery to my students. To start the lesson, we talked about what they already know about mysteries and what other mystery books they have already read. I showed them the interactive notebook and they were so excited to get started cutting and learning about the parts of a mystery. Check out how cute and informative our interactive notebook entry was! After the students read and we reviewed the elements of mystery using the interactive journal we continued on with some more mystery vocabulary highlighted on the anchor chart. The children had a great time with the words Sleuth and Red Herring. Finally, I introduced the book Swindle by Gordon Korman as our mystery. This book is a great hook for reluctant readers. Most of my class, especially the boys, was hooked after a few pages! They are super excited to read more tomorrow! Update: So many of you have reached out looking for the "Elements of a Mystery Interactive Notebook", I have made them available here or by click on the picture below.

First Line: You know in the movies when someone says "You can't fire me, I quit!" ... maybe don't do that in real life. After a break-up and a workplace walk-out, the only place left for Lana Lee to go was back home to Cleveland, Ohio and the family business, the Ho-Lee Noodle House. Waiting tables while putting her life back together has its ups and downs-- especially since her mother is determined to find Lana a husband. But Lana's love life takes a back seat when the restaurant's property manager turns up dead after a delivery of shrimp dumplings from Ho-Lee. Everyone on staff is dumbfounded because they all knew Mr. Feng was allergic to shellfish. With the good name of the restaurant as well as her own in jeopardy, it looks as though Lana will be waiting tables and investigating a murder... although that police detective sure is good-looking... After seeing this series recommended by several readers whose opinions I trust, I thought I'd introduce myself to Lana Lee. Going in, I knew it was going to be a dicey proposition because I am definitely not a fan of characters whose main purpose in life is browbeating their offspring into marriage. Fortunately, the matchmaking moved from center stage once the investigation into Mr. Feng's death went into full gear. As someone who prefers little-to-no romance in my mysteries, I also liked the fact that the budding attraction between Lana and the police detective was very lightly done. Death by Dumpling is a nice, solid, even excellent, beginning to Vivien Chien's Noodle Shop series. The mystery did keep me guessing, which is always a plus. However, the characters just didn't grab me, but keep in mind that I certainly seem to be in the minority here! Death by Dumpling by Vivien Chien eISBN: 9781250129161 St. Martin's Press © 2018 eBook, 331 pages Cozy Mystery, #1 Noodle Shop mystery Rating: B+ Source: Purchased from Amazon.
