Clue Predictions Suspects:

With your teams (each side of the room will be a team!) please make a prediction of who has committed this crime! Choose one suspect, one weapon, and one location! Have the scribe record this prediction on a sheet of paper and hold on to it until the end of the game to see if you were right!
Directions As a class we are going to try to solve this
Manchester mystery! There are clues providing evidence from
different sources around the room. After we find each clue we will discuss the
pros and cons of the evidence and sources it provides.› Clue searchers will retrieve the clues and read
them aloud to the class.› Scribes will record the sources and evidence
provided in each clue.
Clue Number 1 A rumor started by a student around
Manchester High School this week is that Mr. Jones was seen suspiciously walking around the library last Wednesday with a pencil in his hand.
Discuss Source Reliability Source biases
Helpful Hint To hear more about this mystery look
towards to North Pole!
Clue Number 2 According to half of the Social Studies
teachers at Manchester High School Ms. Lataille has never seen the cafeteria.
Clue Searcher 1 please read aloud!
Discuss Getting the whole story Significance of getting multiple sources
Helpful Hint To hear more about this mystery what is
opposite of black plus a rhyme with chord.
Clue Number 3 The English teachers at
Manchester High School were working in the library last week doing a project on Shakespeare and there was a big problem with spitballs.
Clue searcher 2 please read this aloud!
Discuss Sorting through and picking out
irrelevant sources and information
Helpful Hint To hear more about this mystery look to
the teachers right, third row, second desk.
Clue Number 4 Mr. Jones was heard accusing both Ms.
Lataille and Ms. Davis of sneaking around in the hallways with pencils and books.

Discuss Why are proper citations, evidence,
and sources significant? How can we apply evidence to our
topic or research question?
Can you solve the Manchester Mystery?
To hear more about this mystery properly record each of the sources of these four clues in your teams and solve the mystery!
Use your scribes notes to review! Then as a team record you choices for
suspect, location, and weapon for this crime based on the evidence and sources! Let’s see which team will solve the mystery!
“I don’t know!” If you wrote down “I don’t know”, for
the first time, your are exactly right!
Why is this impossible?
Our evidence was not reliable, it was not thorough enough, it was not recorded properly, or it was irrelevant!
Discuss What would we do now if we needed to
solve this mystery?› What should you do with your project if
your sources are not giving you the answer to your question?
Why is evidence, sources, and citations important to your research?
