Mystery Fiction Draft: Day 3; And Then There Were None (chp. 5); Clue: Day 1

This morning, please watch the following two videos and take note of suggestions/tips concerning mystery fiction.
On your own time (particularly if you're stuck or need inspiration and more tips when writing your story draft, check out this article on an author's blog (Chuck Wendig) by Susan Spann: "25 Things You Need to Write a Mystery Novel."

Use these ideas/tips as necessary. Use them for your own mystery story project. Use the rest of period three (until 9:45) to continue writing your mystery story draft--or read your homework. At 9:45, stop for a bit and check out this link about author Agatha Christie.

Jot down some interesting notes about the writer in your journal. At 9:55, let's get back to Chapter 5 of And Then There Were None.

At the conclusion of Chapter 5, we'll take a little interlude break to watch the comic mystery film Clue (1985 - based on the board game) starring Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Lesley Ann Warren, Christopher Lloyd, Martin Mull, Eileen Brennan, and Michael McKean. Written & directed by Jonathan Lynn.

HOMEWORK: Please read chapters 6-8 (pg. 91-137) for Thursday. Bring your books and your mystery drafts back with you to class.  Drafts of your mystery story will be due Wednesday, April 10.
