Activities 1 & 2
We’ll start with two activities. Every other week or so you will get more. Participate as you can – up to you. Just enjoy yourself with this suspenseful genre.
Activity #1
Tell us who you are, why you like mysteries, what some favorites are and which fictional sleuth you would want to be or not want to be and why. For example, I would not want to be Nancy Drew because she is obsessed with her lipstick in my opinion and is always freshening it even after being kidnapped. I’d rather be one with psychic powers like Zack in Chris Grabenstein’s series (If you haven’t read them – get them, they are good!) I did want to be Trixie Belden because she had a fun group of friends and rode horses all the time.
Activity #2: What happened here? I made up this story, but tell us what you think happened next – a paragraph or two – We’ll send out the entries and we can keep adding.
Fire trucks fill the parking lot of the library, and water covers every surface. Three people wrapped in blankets are talking to police. A charred bench sits near a dark spot on the wall of the library. You stop to ask what happened, and someone said things got out of hand at the Banned Books Read Out event. You notice some police sifting through a pulpy mess on the ground. Then more police pull up and seal off the exits. They tell you and everyone else to wait to talk to them. They begin looking in everyone’s cars. You hear rumors that a teen has gone missing. Her ipod and backpack were partially burned in the fire, and no one has seen her.
