iReady for 40-45 minutes (Two Lessons) 

The bell rings, and classmates innocently file into the classroom.  Eyes dart left and right, as students quietly take their seat.  I pull out my agenda, write it down, and pull out my list of suspects.  I study the page from top to bottom, making a note of everyone on it.  The main suspect is Charles, the butler.  This scandalous Frenchman has always had a bit of a rogue streak.  Vandalism, suspected gang activity and fourteen DUIs.  It's a wonder he even got the job.  There's also Ethan, the rambunctious son-in-law. A struggling, but recovering gambling addict.  As my eyes fall to the end of the page, I put my finger over one last suspect.  Lucas.  The wife, with multiple attempted murders, and an crippling addiction to Wordscapes, he's another well-known menace to society.  Linked to over 30 assassinations alone, but not enough evidence to convict him, he seemed suspicious enough to interrogate first.  I put my binder and comically large suitcase into my backpack, but before I can walk over to his table, Daniella chooses me to recite the blog.  "Curses!" I think to myself, accompanied by language that could get me deplatformed.  I drearily pull my backpack to my side, and walk over to the writers desk, and place myself on the plastic throne.  

I begin thinking of topics to write, my mind racing furiously, when Ethan comes over to my desk to greet me.  He immediately lunges at me, and proceeds to AGGRESSIVELY HUG ME for the next two minutes.  Despite my desperate cries to get off me, he continued the embrace, taking an uncomfortable time to release his grip on me.  After contemplating creating a dent in his cranium with the chair next to me, I sit him down, and begin the questioning process.

"Now, I understand that you didn't have the greatest relationship with your father-in-law, Isaac.  You do know what happened to him, right?"

"rizz"

After deciding Ethan wasn't physically capable of the murder, due to his deteriorated mental state, caused by his gambling addiction, and a daily consumption of YouTube shorts ranging from 12 to 14 hours, I decided to start questioning the next suspect Lucas.  Before I could even get up to walk to his table, Otem, Isaac's brother sat down next to me. "I have a lead on the case, detective".  He handed me a briefcase.  "Don't let anyone see you with this".  "I open the case, to see its contents, which were multiple photos, apparently taken on a polaroid.  Mostly just photos of the crime scene, but one stood out.  I immediately knew who to interview next, he was easily found, as he'd just presented his poems to the class while I was interviewing Ethan  I tap his shoulder as he exits the stage.

"How can I help you?"

"Do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions related to the murder of your husband?"

"Of course"

"Can you explain this photo of you at the crime scene?" I respond, whipping the photo out of my pocket

"Is that your hampster?"

I check the photo

"Whoops" I put the photo back in my pocket, and pull out another

"I was simply checking his pulse!"

"With a knife in your hand?" 

"I was just cooking dinner!"

"The knife is covered in a red liquid"

"I was making tomato soup"

"With a knife?"

"It's part of the recipe"

As I walk him into the police station, I see someone out of the corner of my eye.  Charles, behind bars.  "What are you doing here?" 

"I got caught for killing Isaac"

"By who?"

"Rin"

"I thought I was the detective"

"You're supposed to write the blog" 

"Oh"

(If the ending is really rushed it's because I ran out of time RINS DOING THE NEXT BLOG BY THE WAY)
