THE DETECTIVES - TEACHER’S GUIDE - Unit 3
Detective’s Notebook! (2) (page 93)
Curriculum:
Ask and say:
P: Students will produce a short
What do we know so far? (Have students recall all they
piece of coherent writing
remember from the mystery. They should use their
Detective’s Notebooks.)
How many suspects are there? (3)
Look at the pictures and describe the people you see.
Write the following in your notebooks:
o The person’s name
o The person’s job
o What the person is holding or wearing in the drawings Mike drew.
Use the word bank to help you.
When they are finished, check with the class, writing examples on the board.
You may want to use this rubric to assess the students' work.

Extra Activity:
Simpler: Have the students copy the words in the word bank and look them up, making sure they
are familiar with all the words. When they are done, they should make three columns, one per
person, and under each name, they should place the words that they think are connected to that
person.
More challenging: Have the students write three more sentences about each person saying why
he / she might be the thief.
Let’s Remember
Ask:
What artist did we learn about? (Marc Chagall)
What do you remember about him? (Encourage the students to say all they remember.)
