The Boscombe Valley Mystery


Hi there students! Before we start our lesson on Graphic Novel next week, lets take a look at this video. It is based on the novel 'The Boscombe Valley Mystery', which is similar to what you have for your graphic novel. Remember, the video only let you know the basic storyline, so you need to read the graphic novel too before coming to class later!

Don't worry, it is not too long. You will have a great time reading the story - it is almost like reading a comic book! :)
