THE DETECTIVES - TEACHER’S GUIDE - Unit 2
PART 9: Putting it All Together (pages 66-70)
Let’s Remember
Ask:
What important clue did Tom and Kate find? (about Carly's Café being closed)
Who do they suspect as the thief? (Bill)
What did we learn how to form? (questions)
Discuss the title.
Ask:
What does the title mean? (We have all the information we need; we will put
it all together and try to solve the mystery.)
1. Let’s Rap (HOTS- Prediction) (Track 23) (page 66)
Read the rap and discuss with the class.
Ask:
What do we know about the green-faced guy? (He was a suspect when he
was seen riding his green bike the wrong way – end of Unit 1)
What do we learn here about him? (He becomes a friend, so now he’s no
longer a suspect.)
How do you think he becomes a friend after being a suspect? (Accept all
logical answers.)
What does this mean about our clues? (Accept all logical answers.)
2. Let’s Read! (Track 23A) (page 66-67)
Before Reading
New Words
carefully
introduce
reporter
suspect
Present the new words on the board. Discuss each word, giving a synonym or a definition via a
sentence that explains the meaning of the word.
Vocabulary Reinforcement
Have the students go over the text and find the words they just learned. Ask them to read the
sentences where they found the words. If there are still unclear words, explain them.
Have the students copy the words into their notebooks and write their definitions.
For weaker students: Have them copy the sentence with the new word into their notebooks, next
to the definition they wrote. This will help them remember the context as well.
For more ideas, go to pages vi and vii in the Yellow Pages section.
