3. Francine Kitts
"Sherlockian Deduction"
“Sherlockian Deduction” was inspired by the popular TV show “Jeopardy” and uses the same rules. The basic rules for the game can be found online via many sources. You may choose to adapt the rules for use in your own classroom. For example, students can play in teams rather than as individual players.

5. Matthew Stark
Maudrey J. Sommer School, rural Tanana, Alaska. “Sherlock Holmes and Me” Matthew Stark teaches grades 2-8 in Tanana, a rural 40-student school in mid-Alaska with 90% native American/Alaskan students. Communication technology can overcome isolation and distance in teaching, and this project used Holmes as an introduction to mysteries in general and the world of podcasting for students' own stories. |
