Professor Plum. In the Study. With the Candlestick.

Using a bit of wit, a dash of humor, and their mastery of the Italian language, the Italian 310 students solved their very own game of Clue. Barbara, Umbra Institute’s Italian 310 professoressa, cleverly created roles, scripts, and a ‘theft’ to be acted out over a birthday dinner for two of her students.

 

 

 

As the captain of the imaginary cruise ship, Barbara laid out the plot for the interactive game to begin. All her students collaborated to disentangle the web of clues leading to culprit who ‘stole’ the missing gold ring. Even the food that was prepared for the potluck was skillfully incorporated into the plot! Luckily, the ring was recovered in a slice of birthday cake. Case closed.
