What Happened to the Drama Teacher?

Updated in 2026

Seconday 3 and 4

In this scenario, students write a narrative text in order to produce a digital story.

Students will become a potential suspect in an investigation. They will personify a suspect and produce a statement about what happened to the drama teacher.

In teams of 2-3, students will brainstorm their version of the events that took place by using information given to them on a suspect card.

They will :

Write a text (testimony) about the event.
Plan a digital story with a storyboard.
Produce a digital story with a tablet.
Listen to the different testimonies.
Decide who is guilty, and write down arguments to support their decision.
