For the past two weeks, students worked in groups of four on this mystery project. The collage consists of a team created mystery essay, pictures of the suspects, pictures (or actual item) of the clues, short bios on each suspect, and any other important pictures or information for their mystery. The project was broken up so that each student was responsible for a portion of the plot as well as the other parts of collage. I distributed a 5'x3' sheet of paper for them to display their information. For bonus points, students were also allowed to bring in any food item or props to share with the with the class that was associated with their mystery. Overall, the project was a success and the students created some wonderful mysteries.
