The Case of the Runaway Decimal: A Max Read Mystery

My next few ideas for movies are all based on the idea of a kid detective, Max Read, and his one man detective agency called the Find a Solution Detective Agency.  I had a few ideas based on curriculum needs.  The first was recognizing the importance of a decimal and the second was how prepositions are used.  As with my first project, the students took my idea and had to write project pitches.  One was truly outstanding and had me in stitches just reading it.  Several students got together to polish the idea and put together some dialog to go with it, before writing a script.  Their idea called for filming at a gas station, so off I went trudging around town to get permission from a local business owner, who also happens to be a City Councilman.  He was more than willing to help out.  So... several dozen photographs later, they put together a very rough storyboard and this is the work in progress...
