Journal Questions:
1. THE ELEVENTH VICTIM. Yet another victim ends up dead, beyond the "Indian Island Ten." Who was the eleventh victim? What details do we learn about his or her death? Using your inference skills, why do you think this person was targeted? (one paragraph)
2. THE INCREDIBLE MOVING CHAIR. According to the police report, the chair that Vera stood on, and then kicked out from under herself, was found neatly placed against the wall. What does this important detail tell us about her death and the identity of the murderer? (one paragraph)
3. MAINE AND LEGGE'S CONCLUSIONS. The two investigators draw some interesting conclusions about who the murderer is by shedding light on such details as:
- what happened to Isaac Morris,
- who Elmer Robson was,
- who recorded the gramophone record,
- how the boy scouts were involved,
- the seaweed on the chair,
- and what ever happened to Edward Seton.
Who do they think, then, "dunnit?" (short answer)
4. YEAH, RIGHT... WHATEVER, AGATHA. To make a good mystery work, the author has to sustain the belief of the readers by creating a world that feels entirely plausible, realistic, and full of verisimilitude.
Do you believe that this story stretches credibility to the point of breaking any sense of reality? Or do you believe this story is grounded in reality enough as to feel possible? Explain your answer with several reasons to support your belief. (one paragraph)
Okay I do NOT understand what we have to do. Can you please tell me what work we have to do by the end of break and what work is just an option?? I'm sorry but this is REALLY frustrating me because I'm leaving to visit my grandparents later today and I don't think that there is internet access where I'm going. Also, I didn't think that i would have to be spending all of my break or at least most of it working on Language Arts homework...
ReplyDeleteDid you read this from Chapter XV?
ReplyDelete"I decided to put these blogs out early for those who are at home and want to work ahead over the break.
This NOT going to be required for when we get back, but will console those eager readers who don't want to lose the scent of the hunt!
You will be expected to continue reading in class and to to turn in your journals at the normal due date.
Enjoy your Spring Break!"
I finished the book, and I want to do this work over break. When it says DAY 1 and DAY 2, is that chapter 15? and then after that the epilouge? Please explain ASAP.

ReplyDeleteA: The Chapters are in order. The navigation between chapters is on the upper left "Blog Archive." You need to click on the appropriate chapter in order to find the work that needs to be done. Does this help?

ReplyDeleteA: See the previous answer. You need to take on one Chapter's journal assignment at a time. Use the Blog Archive to go back to where we left off.
for question one,
ReplyDeleteit says who was it? do you mean who is the killer? or do you mean who was the last person killed?
Q: for question one,

A: Question one is asking who was the last person killed, not who the killer is.
