I�d like to make a 4 skills-lesson plan about detective stories, do you have some ideas?

thanks

I don�t know your students age but there are interesting lesson plans about detective stories in the following websiteS http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1989/4/89.04.06.x.html ; http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/0709/070912-madeleine.html This is a lesson plan about Madeleine McCann (warm-up, reading and listening, discussion questions...) It is for advanced.

Here is also a mystery lesson http://www.education-world.com/a_tsl/archives/02-1/lesson036.shtml

There is also a great webquest about mysteries: http://www.longmeadow.k12.ma.us/wms/pages1/sturgis/pages/mystery.html

There is also a game, which I love, about detectives. The students have to read the story and follow the steps to solve the mystery http://www.3xplus.com/pasnet01/scrpasnet01US.htm

Mesi, a member from ESL Printables, also has a great game called "A bank robbery" http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=86895#thetop for small groups. It is for speaking. One student has to make questions to the witnesses to find the robber. I think that combining some of this activities you can make a great detective 4 skills-lesson plan. I hope it helps!
