Dear Brilliant Detectives,
I hope this letter finds you in your most curious and eager state, for I am in dire need of your keen eyes and sharp minds. My name is Professor Wordsworth, and I come from the land of Grammaropolis, a place where every word has its own place and purpose.
Today, I bring to you a mystery most perplexing: The Mystery of the Mixed-Up Speech. You see, last night during the grand banquet at the Grammaropolis Gala, someone meddled with the sentences in our Great Book of Speech, causing a catastrophic jumble! Nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns are all in a twist, and we cannot make head nor tail of our once beautiful language.

Students will be on the edge of their seats as they work to decipher the clues and find out who the culprit is. Think they have the right suspect? Use the suspect cards to confirm suspicions or send students back to the field for more evidence.
