Today we are going to begin the second half of our course.
This semester we will read two detective stories. For the first half of the semester we will read Death on U Street, the second story in our textbook, Fiction in Action - Whodunit. Death on U Street is another story featuring Detective Ellie Koo. I'm sure you will enjoy it very much. Just like last semester, there will be a quiz after each chapter.
In the second half of the course we will read The Sign of Four, which is a Sherlock Holmes Story.
First, let's study some vocabulary. Please click the link: Death on U Street Chapter 1 Vocabulary.
Death on U Street is fiction, of course, but U Street is a real street in Washington D.C. You can see U Street in the image below.

This looks very interesting Mike! I love Detective Stories for classwork! Thanks for sharing.
