Miss Marple – A Classic Movie Detective
A reading-based worksheet set with optional film tasks (grades 7–10) 🎥🕵️♀️
A printable and digital resource
This material introduces students to the character of Miss Marple as portrayed by Margaret Rutherford in the classic black-and-white crime comedies based on Agatha Christie’s novels. Whether your students are already familiar with detective fiction or encountering it for the first time, this resource offers a simple and accessible way to combine reading skills, character study, and media analysis.
The core of the material is a short informational text that provides background on the character and the actress who portrayed her. Students work with a structured profile sheet and a short quiz to reinforce their understanding. If you choose to watch a Miss Marple film with your class, there are two additional worksheets: one for summarizing the movie plot and one for writing a short review.
What’s included:
Informational text about Miss Marple and Margaret Rutherford
Worksheet to create a character profile
Quiz questions with solution key
Film content worksheet (optional use)
Film review worksheet (optional use)
Solutions for all main tasks
Format: PDF (print-friendly and digital)
How it works in class:
This is the kind of resource I like to keep on hand for flexible lessons. It works well as a quiet reading and writing task on its own, or as part of a small media project. Watching one of the Miss Marple films adds variety to the lesson and gives students a chance to apply what they’ve learned in a fun and creative way. The film-related worksheets are structured, so even students with less writing experience can follow along easily.
Great for regular lessons, substitute plans, or simply when you want to bring a bit of classic British mystery into your classroom.
Warmly,
