| Title | Solving Mysteries in Class |
| Body | Here are some fun ideas, recently submitted to the FLTEACH listserv, which may help alleviate symptoms of spring fever in your classes. Although these were submitted by teachers of Spanish, they may be used with other languages as well. ---- The robbery scenario Two students go outside the room and prepare an alibi for the time the robbery occurred. The rest of the class brainstorms questions that the police will ask. They divide into two groups and each questions one of the suspects. Then, the two groups compare the information gathered from the inquisitions. If there is a discrepancy, the suspects are caught in the crime. If not, they are free. The students ususally have a good time (I try to use students that are strong in the language as the suspects). Hennings, M. Re: Murder mysteries in Spanish class.

(Each student was given the role of a character and we pretended we all were at a cocktail party where a murder occurred.) I adapted it from a text called Index Card Games in Spanish. I took it right from Index Card Games in Spanish. It is also available in French. Here is the website where you can order it online: http://www.prolinguaassociates.com/Pages/icgfrenchspanishbook.html . Watson, G. Re: Murder mysteries in Spanish class.
