Exploring the Mystery Genre Unit Plan Culminating Activity: Meet the Detectives Event To conclude the mystery unit, invite parents to come to school for a special "Meet the Detectives" event. Students dress up as their favorite detective (or as a generic detective) and read the mystery they have written to their parents or other parents who visit. Arrange desks in a circle, and have students sit behind their desks and autograph detective pictures for the visitors. (Take pictures of each student with a detective hat, trench coach, and magnifying glass. As a class, before parents arrive, write a mystery that takes place in the school. You may want to alter the location of the clues for each parent group so that the traveling groups are spread out. Make the final clue one that helps parents solve the mystery and sends them back to your classroom (or an all-purpose meeting area) so that all parents end up in the same place. To conclude the fun event, enjoy some "mystery treats," like question mark–shaped cookies. Supporting Books
Emmanuel Souchier - Ecriture informatique Texte imprimable La recherche consacrée aux rapports qu'entretiennent écritures et technologies est héritière des hypothèses formulées sur l'existence d'une écriture informatique dont la spécificité se situe à la croisée des pratiques d'écriture, de l'ingénierie intellectuelle et des médias (apports et transformations de l'écriture induites pas la technique, bénéfices attendus dans le croisement des pratiques d'écriture, de recherche et de documentation dans les hypermédias, spécificités de la littérature combinatoire et de l'écrit médiatisé par la technique, etc.). Après s'être intéressée à la notion d'écrit d'écran, notion qui postule l'inter-détermination des modalités d'écriture, du support et des outils, des dispositifs techniques et des pratiques sociales d'écriture, la recherche se poursuit vers Internet et plus généralement vers les "écrits de réseaux" et les phénomènes de réécriture liés à la circulation des textes et des savoirs.

---> L'heure du Monstre | Projet de diplôme Esal, Anne M. | Page 2 L’heure des Monstres. C’est toujours dans le noir, quand la nuit a pris ses droits sur les chambres d’enfants, que les monstres débarquent en catimini. Les montres, c’est toutes les peurs réunies, c’est la phobie de tout les petits (voir des plus grands). J’ai toujours eu peur des monstres, et j’en ai fait des cauchemars récurrents pendant des années. J’aime écrire pour les enfants, sans détours et sans faux semblants. Il reste donc une solution : passer par la typographie. Le texte dit beaucoup, et si la seule image que l’on a est celle qui s’empare du texte, qui le transforme par le biais d’une typographie particulière, d’une déformation des lettres, d’un jeu d’apparition et de disparition des mots, alors elle est encore plus forte, car elle n’a pas de visage. Durant mes trois années à l’ESALorraine – site Epinal j’ai développé un univers graphique particulier, au croisement de l’illustration, le graphisme et l’animation.

Contributors: Tony Russell, Allen Brizee, Elizabeth Angeli, Russell Keck, Joshua M.
