Mystery Writing
Mystery Writing here refers to curricula and projects that teach students how to craft their own whodunits: planting clues, misdirecting readers, and building suspense. A strong mystery-writing unit usually includes mentor texts, character and setting exercises, lessons on red herrings, and time for drafting and revising a full short story. Parents and teachers find that even reluctant writers enjoy the puzzle-like challenge of constructing a case their peers must solve. Used as a multi-week project, mystery writing can reinforce plot structure, descriptive detail, and logical thinking while keeping engagement high.
