One of the activities my students enjoyed over the past 2 years was writing scripts for mysteries after reading one. Students work in groups and each group produces its own myster. Then students act out their mysteries on the school stage or make it into a movie. Some of the plays and movies turn out to be great with well- integrated visual and sound effects.
I couldn't upload all movies to You Tube because of their sizes. But this is a link to one of the movies that I could upload:
