WhoDunit? A Complete ESL Coursebook Unit

This unit from an as-yet uncompleted ESL, EFL, English language coursebook teaches English through the theme of mysteries. Students practice reading, writing, speaking, grammar and vocabulary.

I find students love mysteries and solving puzzles. There's a reason for the international popularity of Law and Order, CSI, true crime shows, and even classic authors like Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. They love to solve puzzles and riddles and have a lot to say about what they think.

Activities and lessons include:

* Mystery vocabulary such as alibi and motive.

* Using modal verbs of speculation to guess the significance of clues

* A mystery story as along reading

* Reading strategies such as reading for key information and evaluating information

* Graphic organizer in the form of a mystery reading worksheet

* Mystery writing worksheet to help students write their own stories.

The unit comes with complete teacher notes, ideas for alternative or extension activities and an answer key.
