A whodunit (for "Who's done it?") is a sort of the detective story. The reader is provided with clues from which the identity of the perpetrator of the crime may be deduced before the solution is revealed in the final pages of the book. The investigation is usually conducted by an eccentric amateur or semi-professional detective. In groups of 4, invent a small whodunnit following the model we’ve seen on the video, and perform it in front of the class. You have 5 mn to invent the story and to distribute the roles, and 10 mn to rehearse. Get ready ! Can you solve this little murder mystery?
