Brenda's Murder: Suggested Lesson Plans
From Yacapaca wiki
Suggested Lesson Plan
Set your students the task of briefly examining the murder scenario relevant to their NC level:
On the basis of this quick overview of the case, ask them to answer the Whodunnit? quiz which contains the single question Who do you think murdered Brenda? The question at this point has no right or wrong answer and it is intended that the data collected be used by the teacher after completion of the resource. Now allow students a longer period to study the scenario and set these multiple choice assessments in the following order:
Once students have completed the assessments, set them The Killer! exercise: students once again answer the question Who do you think murdered Brenda?, this time having evaluated all the evidence. Response options are marked right or wrong and feedback is given. This enables comparison between, and discussion around, the initial guessed response and the final evaluated response.
