DETECTIVE’S NOTEBOOK #2 (page 177)
Have the students answer in their Detective’s Notebooks.
When they are finished, go over the answers with them.
Answer key:
1. Josh – he’s a student at the school. A kid at school is being mean to him. (they could also write
examples of things that were done)
2. They all have someone mean in their school who does mean things to them.
NOTE: The word we are looking for in bullying / bully / bullies, however, the students will only learn
that word in the next reading passage so they won’t be able to produce it on their own.
When you check the answers, you can teach this expression – bullying, a bully, to bully and explain
that the kid who wrote the note to Maya, the kid who trips Josh are both bullies, they bully the
others, and Josh and Maya are victims of bullying.
3. HOTS Accept different logical ideas.
Part 5 – Helping a Friend (page 178)
Let’s remember
Ask:
What is Josh’s problem? (someone is being
mean to him / he’s being bullied)
What do the kids decide to do? (they go to their
teachers)
Who remembers some of the announcements
the principal made in part two of this unit?
(encourage them to flip through their notebooks
and books to remind themselves of the
announcements. The important one is about
Jack and Amy coming for a special meeting.)
