Pre-Reading Terms to Know Elements of this Mystery Suspects – those who could be to blame or suspected of blame for a crime Alibi - a claim or piece of evidence that one was elsewhere when an act, typically a criminal one, is alleged to have taken place Motive – reason for doing something, usually hidden setting – where the crime takes place suspenseful plot – duh  red herring – a clue that is meant to be misleading or distracting Clues - things left for the investigators … Themes – central message of the story Motifs – a reoccurring element that has symbolic significance to a story

Pre-Reading Discussion 1.) Think of a time you did something that was wrong and you felt guilty about it (guilty conscience). What was the situation? 2.) Does it make a difference if someone who is guilty is convinced that he or she is innocent? If s/he has a clear conscience? 3.) Do you think people who do “bad” things must be punished? How? Give specific scenarios.

Pre-Reading Discussion 4.) Who has the power to judge another person’s guilt or innocence? Why? How do these people get this power? Give a scenario to explain your opinion. 5.) Do you believe in using the death penalty? Why or why not? Give scenarios to explain your opinion.
