This is a murder mystery activity based around the story of Porphyria’s Lover. It takes around 90 minutes and requires a room where students can move around. Start by reading the Police Inspector prompts (or we recorded a video of our drama teacher) and then talk through the timeline on the powerpoint. Give each student a character card and let them “interview” each other to gather evidence (using the evidence collection sheet). If students finish early, they can complete the back of the evidence collection sheet using the information from the various exhibits.
Apologies - the character cards were missing - they have now been added.

Brilliant. Used with a mixed ability Year 8 class before reading Porphyria's Lover. They were totally engrossed and spent a whole 55 minute lesson analysing the evidence and constructing theories.
Fantastic resource. Used with my Higher English class (Scotland) and they loved it!! They came up with some very elaborate ideas for the murderer. Thanks!!
This is a great resource but the character cards seem to be missing. Can you upload them please?
