THE DETECTIVES - TEACHER’S GUIDE - Unit 2
Extra Activity:
Simpler: Have the students copy the words in the word bank and alphabetize them. When they are
done, they should refer to the definitions for each of the words that they wrote in their notebooks.
If they don't have the definitions, they should write them now.
More challenging: Have the students write at least three sentences, using at least one new word in
each sentence. When they are done, they should make up one more sentence, leaving out the
word, and give it to their partner to solve.
10. Let’s Write! (page 41)
Have the students answer in their notebooks.
When they have finished, go over the answers with them.
