Frankenstein Murder Mystery for All Students
This interactive classroom activity promotes collaboration, logic, inference, critical thinking and fun in your classroom. Students work to solve a murder mystery set right after Victor Frankenstein creates his monster. No knowledge of the novel is necessary; however, this is a great activity if you've read the novel.
This is a great group activity, classroom team activity, or center activity. It is a great way to introduce units on mystery, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or just for a fun and engaging activity. It is also great for classroom parties or bonus time.
Brief Overview of Frankenstein: Who Killed the House Maid?
Victor Frankenstein goes to university and discovers the secrets he is looking for – the mysteries of creation.
Victor spends months feverishly building a creature out of old body parts. One stormy night, in the secrecy of his private laboratory, he brings his creation to life. When Victor looks at the monstrosity he has created,
he is horrified. After a sleepless night, interrupted by the monster looming over him, Victor flees his creation. Victor runs into a local house maid – Sofia – who he has taken on one date - behind the back off his fiancé Elizabeth. He is so distraught; he tells Sofia his story.
Victor leaves Sofia and wanders remorsefully through the countryside. Victor runs into his childhood friend Henry, who has come to study at the university. Victor takes his friend back to his house. Though the monster is gone, Victor falls into a feverish illness. Henry discovers the laboratory but says nothing.
When Victor recovers, his father, Alphonse Frankenstein, rents a villa in Victor’s university town and invites the people closest to Victor for the weekend. Victor is still a bit depressed, and Alphonse hopes Victor’s friends and loved ones will cheer him up.
Victor arrives at the villa early. He wanders the grounds and sees the monster alone in the boathouse. Victor seizes the opportunity and locks the monster in.
Everyone arrives. After dinner, Victor goes out to the boathouse and the monster is gone.
Early the next morning there is a knock at the door. It is the local magistrate. He announces that the house maid Sofia is dead. He informs the group that they may not leave until they are cleared of the murder.
Have fun in your classroom, brush up on inference and practice critical thinking with these engaging, interactive activities.
I have a more advanced Frankenstein Murder Mystery: Who Killed Professor Waldman? A working knowledge of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is necessary for play.
