Thank you for posting this lesson and the worksheets. I've been looking for different genre worksheets and I really like these. I'm going to post a link on my blog lovetopaint.blogspot.com for other homeschoolers.

This was fantastic when I used it with a group of ESL/SPED students. It enabled us to go step by step and complete the mysteries. Some were quite good!

I used these handouts with my 7th grade class after reading a mystery novel. They worked GREAT for students preparing to write their own mysteries. Thank you!
