We have seen the people possibly responsible for a heinous crime… now it’s time to take a longer look and closer look at the crime scene. Look at the body... look where it is... Look for a clue!
Task: Write descriptive paragraph(s) that describes the CRIME SCENE- be sure to include a view of the body and the surroundings that it is in. Include at least one clue!
Thesaurus will be good here! Do not tell feelings- show them!
Try to use as many metaphors, similes and adjectives to create an atmosphere and “feel” of your character!
Questions to ask yourself/ things to think about:
1. Is there a body? Is it lying in a pool of blood?
2. As you are telling a “mystery” be sure that you don’t say who did it!
3. What is the clue(s)? Where do they point to?
4. Now is the time to possibly introduce (new) characters.
5. Is there a murder weapon there?
6. Have you packed the description full of similes and metaphors? Are there enough adjectives?
