How fun would it be to have your students develop, write, and produce their own interactive murder mystery? This hands-on guide takes you step-by-step through a six-week process for middle or high school students. This easy-to-use text shows you exactly how to get the creative juices going. It covers brainstorming, character creation, plot development, planting clues, and writing dialogue. Lists of characters, locations, plots, weapons, and even ways to die help the process along. The book also addresses the actual production, providing useful checklists for the director and stressing how to achieve maximum audience participation. Emphasis is put on developing the improvisational skills needed to be a successful suspect! Synopses of five plays including cast lists, ideas, and comments help you learn from others who have already done this. Includes a chart to show how the mystery class aligns well with National Core Arts Standards for Theatre.
