__**Mystery Unit**__ In this lesson, students were required to learn about the story they would be reading the following day. To help them prepare for the story, students were first required to learn the "words to own" (words that would appear on the summative assessment) and the "footnoted words" (which would not be words they would be tested on, but words that would help them understand the story more completely), as well as learn elements of mysteries (What makes mystery stories a mystery story?), and also complete several work sheets that would help them outline and participate with the story in a more interactive way. This lesson was designed for English 1 students (7th grade) at Garden City Middle School under the guidance and assistance with Joanne Grech.
