CLUE #4
Description
For this clue, we give the students an envelope containing
a CD and a sheet of paper with 11 sets of blank
lines (Figure 5). This clue is similar to clue #3 in that
under each blank line is a number and that the numbers
go in order (this time from 1 to 130). At the bottom
of the page are two sets of seven blank lines, again
implying two seven-letter words. The CD contains 11
short iTunes audio tracks of various sound bites from
famous science fiction films or television shows. Students
need to listen to each sound bite and attempt
to determine from which film or television show it is
taken. Within the goody bag of materials is a long list
of various science fiction film and television show titles
(“List of Movies.doc”). Just like in clue #3, this resource
can be used as a word bank. Students can also conduct
research on the Internet. Eventually, students should
be able to place the letters from the titles on the answer
section over their corresponding numbers. Once
the answer section is filled out, the students have their
solution, which is “Science Fiction.”
