    Lesson Plan Murder Hunt

    Uploaded by

    Anagh Purandare
    This lesson plan aims to establish group work ground rules by having students work in groups to solve a murder mystery. The teacher will provide clues and students have 15 minutes to come up with answers. As they work, the teacher will observe examples of productive group behaviors. In the plenary, groups will then discuss and share the top three most helpful behaviors they exhibited. These behaviors will be compiled and posted to serve as ongoing group work guidelines. The goal is to have students reflect on their contributions and identify areas for improving their group skills.
