Writing Week of December 3rd

Due by December 10th at 9:oo a.m.

The Case of the Missing What’s-It-Called, Part 2

After lunch, you head outside for a breath of fresh air.  Your mind is filled with thoughts of what is missing from your desk.  You are in detective mode now, and thoughts and questions bump around in your head, making it hard to think about school.

You need some time to think, to figure things out if you can.  Most of the mysteries you’ve worked on have turned out okay.  You’ve solved enough of them to know that there is often a simple explanation.  But for some reason, this one seems a bit more challenging, maybe not as easy to solve as the others.

You walk around the playground, your mind so full you don’t even notice the sounds of the other kids playing.  Not today.  You’ve got a case to solve.

You wander to your usual place on the playground where you like to go think.  Things always make better sense when you’re sitting here working out a case.

As you get closer, you notice something on the ground-something white, placed in the exact spot where you usually sit.  Your heart beats a little faster.  Could it be?

You get to the spot and reach down and pick it up.  There is the missing item from your desk, wrapped in a piece of notebook paper with a rubber band around it.  On the paper are these words, “Dear Detective, I have heard you are good with mysteries.  I need your help with mine.  I am sorry I took this from your desk but I didn’t know how else to get your attention.  I am very shy.  Please meet me after school in the park across the street.”

The mystery deepens.  Continue to use your imagination and create the story by answering the following questions in your post.  Remember, you are the main character!

1.  What is your favorite place to go to think when working on a case?  Describe it in detail, explaining why it is special to you and why it helps you think?

2.  Is there more to the note?  Are there any clues as to who wrote it (smudges of ink, fingerprints, etc)?  Describe who may have written the note.  Do you think it is another student?  A teacher?  A friend?
