The Adventure of the Speckled Band--Sherlock Holmes



From Chapter 4:"Inferences, What Follows?" Read Sherlock Holmes "The Adventure of the Speckled Band,"  the Arthur Cannon Doyle text. 

Answer the following:

  • How does Holmes draw inferences from evidence?
  • How does he draw inferences from facts?
  • How, if at all, does he make false inferences?

Each of these questions, is related to sections in Chapter 4.  Students are expected to make connections between Mayfield's text and the Doyle short story. 

Thanks,
