    Slip or Trip? Accident or Crime?

    At five-feet-six and a hundred and ten pounds, Queenie Volupides was a


    sight to behold and to clasp. When she tore out of the house after a tiff with
    her husband, Arthur, she went to the country club where there was a party
    going on.
    She left the club shortly before one in the morning and invited a few
    friends to follow her home and have one more drink. They got to the
    Volupides house about ten minutes after Queenie, who met them at the door
    and said, Something terrible happened. Arthur slipped and fell on the stairs.
    He was coming down for another drinkhe still had the glass in his hand--and I think hes dead. Oh, my God---what shall I do?
    The autopsy conducted later concluded that Arthur died from a wound
    on the head and confirmed that hed been drunk.

    DIRECTIONS: Your group is an investigative team that must


    determine what may have happened. You can either agree or
    disagree with Queenies version.
    1. Do you think Queenie is telling the truth? Make a Claim.
    2. Find all the evidence you can that indicates whether or not
    Queenie is telling the truth. Make a list of all the evidence
    (even if you think the evidence contradicts your claim).
    Evidence includes concrete, observable information; personal
    testimony; written documents; and material objects and their
    condition or appearance.
    3. Next explain how each piece of evidence supports your claim
    that Queenie is (or is not) telling the truth. Each explanation
    will be a generally accepted rule, which may begin with a
    phrase such as, As a rule If other members of your team
    disagree with you, find evidence that will convince them.
    4. Be prepared to explain why your evidence supports your
    case.
    5. Write a report to convince the others in the class that your
    analysis makes the most sense.
