write a mystery story
By daisy

Clip to ScrapBook   
In college we discussed a story starter where you bring in a garbage can containing several items: a gum wrapper, a movie ticket, a plane ticket, etc.... You explain to the students that this was all that was found in the room of someone who is missing. They must then write a mystery story about what happened that must include all of these clues.
