Classroom Murder Mystery Game: Mystery at Mr. Grim's Mansion (ESL/EFL) ESL Mystery Game: Mystery at Mr. Grim’s Mansion Strengths: Entertaining, speaking practice ESL Level: Intermediate to Advanced Class Time: 1-2 hours Foreword: Planning a murder mystery for your ESL class takes time. I have done two murder mystery activities with my advanced Junior High ESL class. I found it on OneStopEnglish, which requires a membership (you may be able to find it elsewhere). The mystery I designed is more complicated and requires more preparation. Mystery Basic Idea: The twist in this story is that it is not a murder mystery; rather, it is just a mystery. The first part of the activity has them question each other in order to get background character information, possible weapons, and motives. The story contains elements of the game Clue (or Cluedo). Mystery Execution: 1) Assign Character Roles Distribute character cards + props (wigs, hats, etc) in the hall. The necessary characters are: Wally (the cobra-bringer), Dr. 2) Introduce the setting: It is now Saturday at 9 pm.
Mr. Preble Gets Rid of His Wife “Let’s run away together,” said Mr. Preble. “All righty,” said his stenographer. Mr. Preble jingled the keys in his pocket and looked out the window. “My wife would be glad to get rid of me,” he said. “Would she give you a divorce?” “I don’t suppose so,” he said. “You’d have to get rid of your wife,” she said. Let’s go down in the cellar,” Mr. “What for?” “Oh, I don’t know,” he said. “We never did go down in the cellar that I remember,” said Mrs. “Supposing I said it meant a whole lot to me,” began Mr. “What’s come over you?” “We could pick up pieces of coal,” said Mr. “I don’t want to,” said his wife. “Listen,” said Mr. “There isn’t a good enough light down there,” she said, “and anyway, I’m not going to go down in the cellar. “Gee whiz!” “I don’t want to go!” “All right, all right,” he said. “Will you quit harping on that subject?” “We’ve been all over that,” said Mrs. “I just wanted you to know how things are,” said Mr. “I never believed that for a minute,” said Mrs. “Is that so?

Riddle Me This - Accueil Constance Kent Jonathan Whicher was one of the original members of the Detective Branch which had been established at Scotland Yard in 1842. In 1860 he was called in to assist the investigation into the horrific murder of 4-year-old (Francis) Savile Kent. The child had been taken from the nursemaid's bedroom at night and was found, with his throat cut, in an outside privy in the garden of his family's house the next morning. The murder brought notoriety to the small village of Road (sometimes spelled Rode) in Wiltshire. When the nursemaid, Elizabeth Gough, reported the child missing at 7:15am to Mrs Kent, a search commenced for the child, who was found dead in an outside privy with his throat cut and a stab wound to the chest. The local magistrates soon became impatient for results from the local police Superintendent Foley's investigation, which was largely directed towards the nursemaid Elizabeth Gough who had had responsibility for the child.

20 Minutes Dans The Guilty, un policier reçoit l'appel désespéré d'une femme qui vient d'être enlevée par son ex-mari violent. Gustav Möller orchestre un suspense brillant, récompensé par le Prix de la critique au Festival de Beaune : un huis clos où le spectateur se retrouve bloqué avec le héros et son téléphone. C'est après avoir entendu un appel d'urgence sur Internet que le cinéaste suédois installé au Danemark a eu l'idée de son film. « J'ai compris que chaque personne écoutant cet enregistrement verrait des images différentes », se souvient-il dans le dossier de presse.

The first whodunnit: How the murder of a three-year-old boy gave us the fictional detectives we know today By Geoffrey Wansell Updated: 02:00 BST, 17 July 2008 The sun's rays were just appearing over the horizon in the early hours of a Victorian summer's morning. In an elegant Georgian house in the hamlet of Road in Wiltshire, all was quiet. An hour after midnight the family's Newfoundland dog - notorious for reacting to the slightest provocation - had barked loudly, but no one paid the slightest attention. House of horrors - the first 'whodunnit' to capture the public's imagination It wasn't until just after 5am that Saturday that Elizabeth Gough - the family's 22-year-old nursemaid, who looked after the three smallest children of factory inspector Samuel Kent - woke up, and noticed that one of her charges, three-year-old Saville Kent wasn't in his cot on the other side of her room. 'The impression of the child was still there, as if he had been softly taken out,' she remembered later. But the child had not found his way to his mother's bed - far from it.
