Arthur Conan Doyle · Reading & Learning Unit
In this unit you will meet the most famous detective in the world – Sherlock Holmes. Here is why it is worth knowing, and what you will learn along the way:
How this unit works: In every station you read first and then work on the tasks (some stations have more than one reading and task part, so plan about 30–45 minutes). Work on your own – your teacher is there to help you. The unit does not tell you the whole story: you discover it yourself by reading the book.
Sherlock Holmes is one of the most famous characters in the world – a brilliant, unusual detective who solves crimes by careful observation and logical thinking. His loyal friend, Dr Watson, tells the stories, so we experience every case almost as much in the dark as everyone else does. Read step by step and find out how Holmes really works.
It is also one of the first true detective novels: expect clever clues, sharp dialogue and a puzzle to solve.
Flip cards with background facts, do a short quiz, then build a timeline and match the places in the story.
