“Absent Author” – Mystery prediction

In reading, we have been working on:

  • thinking like a detective,
  • paying attention to clues,
  • reading closely,
  • predicting by thinking backwards and
  • listing suspects by thinking about their
    • motives (reasons)
    • opportunities to commit the crime

Comment below on your prediction for what will happen next.

Remember that predictions should have

  • text evidence
  • an explanation of your reasoning/thinking

Example:

“I think Mr. Paskey kidnapped Wallis Wallace because he was sweating a lot and I know that when people do something wrong they are nervous a lot.”
