Introduction
Greet students and recap last lesson. Use Teacher Resource 1 as today’s warmer activity and to further practise verbs.
As a class, brainstorm what students know about detectives.
Supporting Tasks
Use flashcards from Teacher Resource 2 to play memory game to learn some detective vocabulary. Students then use the vocabulary
to complete Activity Sheet 1 – Detectives. Answers to Part Two are on Teacher Resource 3.
Students can make their own magnifying glass using Activity Sheet 2 – refer also to Teacher Resource 3.
Recap the Cam Jansen story so far. Students complete the first half of Activity Sheet 3 – Cam Jansen by writing in the detective (Cam
Jansen) and the mystery (what has happened so far in the story – missing cookie).
Ask students to be detectives now, what do they think will happen next in the story? Read Chapter 4 to the class and discuss.
Students complete Activity Sheet 3 by writing down the clues (crumbs in lunch box, white hairs on jumper) and case solved (Emily the
dog took the cookie before Jason went to school that day.)
Ask students if they know of any other famous detectives from books or TV. Can they remember the name of Simon’s favourite comic
from Kids Box? Lock and Key. Explain that this comic has characters who are also detectives.
Read PB p.7 and talk about what’s happened, what they think may happen next.
Students match text to pictures from the comic by completing Activity Sheet 4 – Lock and Key.
Often when animals / people go missing, missing posters are displayed. Discuss with students what information should go on the poster
(picture, description, contact number, sometimes a reward, etc).
Main Task
Students create a Missing Poster for the cat from Lock and Key. They must include the key features discussed and use has got when
they write the description. Students can use Activity Sheet 5 – Missing or, for those who need less support, they can design their own
on plain paper.
Post Task Activities
Students present their posters to the class.
Students can work in small groups to act out either detective story – Cam Jansen or Lock and Key. If they do Lock and Key they can
also add what they think will happen next.
Lesson Log
Students complete their Lesson Log and Self Assessment – Task 3
Extension: Complete AB p.7.

Read out the clues, can students guess the answer? Show the pictures once the correct
guess has been said. You could put students into teams to play this or they play as a
whole class.
Please add your own too. Ensure that there are –ing verbs in your clues and also has got
which is today’s target language. Please note that there is little to no difference using
has and has got but has got is used in the course book today.
I am thinking of an animal. It’s big and
grey. It’s got four legs and a tail. It is
shooting water from its long nose.
Elephant

got hot sand and cool sea. A boat is
sailing on the sea. The sun is shining in
the sky.

tummy is rumbling if I do not do this
action. I like doing this in McDonalds!

It has not got any ink. I use it to write with.
Pencil

Show the pictures first and ask students what they think it is and discuss each one. Can
they spell the word? Let them try to spell the word before showing the word card.
Print two copies of these cards and cut up into individual flashcards. Mix them all
together and then place them all face down on the carpet or a table. Students take in
turns to turn over two cards – they must match the picture with the word. If they match
they collect the pair of cards. If no match is found, cards are replaced to their original
position face down and it is the next players turn.

Answers to Activity Sheet 1 - Part 2
Detectives are special police officers who help to solve a mystery. They have not got a
uniform but sometimes they wear a disguise so other people do not know
who they are. A detective often uses a magnifying glass to see very small things such as
fingerprints or hair. These are called clues and are very important. When a detective
finds useful information to help the case, such as footprints, he writes it all down in his
notebook.
Magnifying Glass Craft
You will need:
Cellophane paper
Coloured pencils
Template (Activity Sheet 2)
Scissors
Glue / Tape
Students cut and colour their template. Teacher to assist them
