21st Century-A Theatrical Library Mystery

Mrs.Swicord along with some of the fourth grade Kramer Lane students had a big problem on their hands. It seems that a ferocious dragon had escaped from one of the library books and was roaming the library! In order to capture the dragon, Mrs. Swicord enlisted the help of some of her most beloved book characters, and they were happy to help...until it seems one of them might be responsible for the dragon's escape! Students tapped into their dramatic sides by role-playing suspects and detectives in this mystery. After interviewing one another through short scenes and comparing theories through teacher led discussions, the students analyzed evidence and filled out individual crime reports. At the end of the mystery, the culprit confessed, and those who solved the crime were declared super sleuths!
