FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “FREE Mystery Unit Activity: Observation Skills”

by Brilliantly Lit
5th - 8th Grade




This FREE mystery observation skills activity can be used as a fun part of a mystery unit. It is also a skills enhancing grades 5-8 resource in its own right, boosting observation skills, critical thinking and problem solving. A good detective doesn’t require forensic knowledge or technological expertise; scientists in labs and technology analysts take care of those aspects of police work. The skills that create a good detective- especially a good literary detective - are observation, listening, memory and analysis. This freebie is a sampler from a much bigger resource: Mystery Unit Activities & Detective Skills: Mystery Fun
