The University of Alabama Interactive Murder Mystery Activity

 

Your teacher, Mr. Shifferd, has been murdered! (Not really. I’m fine.) Not all facts are known, but here is what we do know:

His body was found at an anime convention on Sunday, September 26th at around 3 in the afternoon.

The body suffered multiple lacerations from a flurry of shuriken (ninja stars) that were thrown at him.

A Naruto cosplayer was observed fleeing from the scene, his arms dangling behind him as he ran. Witnesses report that his real name is Chad. Motive is unclear.

Here’s where you come in:

Each group will be assigned a particular role in this mystery, so search for your group’s role below (the group numbers correspond to your usual Unit 2 groups). Write a 150-200 word paragraph based on the role you have been given, and post it as a blog post. Make sure you state your role within your blog post. Then, respond to two other blog posts from members of other groups (in other words, people who had different roles than yourself). In your reply, answer a few questions about the writer’s rhetorical situation (see the bottom of these instructions).

My role is: Defense Attorney
Your job is to prove that your client, Chad, is innocent, or at least that there isn’t enough evidence of his guilt to convict him
