Text Investigator:
I’m on a mission to save the man tied to a rope! My role is to discover the missing letters of the
phrase given when I spin the fortune wheel. I must first use my background knowledge to recall
the reading. If I can’t figure it out, I can call for a letter, but it takes the man a step closer to
being hung! If i don’t get it, It’s the other person's turn. If they don’t get it, I can investigate back
to the text. The letters given are the clues. Each turn takes the man a step closer! Each student has
a man to save! Earn as many points to save him!!!
