[Who Did it]

       This week our detectives continued their work as profilers, and deepened their understandings of their [monsters]. Documentation of their investigation this week was in the form of miniature books. Class started with a [board meeting] in which each detective shared their individual cases and evidence collected this far, as well as how they believe it all comes together. The skills of their fellow detectives proved to be a big help when considering the possibilities of their collected [evidence]. After their board meeting the detectives were ready to start their miniature books, and began answering the questions on their handouts [-->>] with enthusiasm to explain who [The Monster that_______] really is. The miniature books acted as more of a work space for the detectives rather than 'final products' while still allowing the detectives to feel very accomplished at the end of the class. These miniature books also served as a brainstorming activity for their large scale [profiles] they will be creating for their large book collaborative project next week.
