Who’s Next? Edlin Seventh Graders Solve Agatha Christie’s Greatest Mystery!

This quarter, our seventh graders dove into Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None in an unforgettable way, each taking on the role of a character in the story’s chilling mystery. Represented by toy soldiers, students watched their characters slowly “disappear” as the suspense built—those “killed” even got to come back as ghosts to haunt their suspected killers! They tracked clues as amateur detectives, making notes on foreshadowing, red herrings, and all the twists that kept them on their toes. To top it off, students brought the drama to life with a Social Media Wall, creating posts and comments from their characters’ perspectives, with ghostly updates popping up as the story unfolded. By bringing the novel’s intrigue and themes into the classroom, students were hooked from start to finish!
