Description

Wow your students with a Continents Reading Comprehension CSI Spy Mystery! Students will complete 4 reading comprehension tasks all while playing detective, finding clues to the case, using close reading skills and searching for text evidence. Great addition to your world geography lesson plans.

 

Topics include: Continents, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia, mountains, deserts, size etc.

 

Students will read the informational text and then work individually (or in pairs) and race to see who can solve the case first! A friendly competition always increases engagement. After completing each reading comprehension “task,” students will earn a “CLUE CARD” to help them eliminate suspects and evidence.

 

As students complete each task, they will bring you their answers for you to quickly check (don’t worry…each task is short). After checking, students will earn a “CLUE CARD” with clues to solve the case.

 

This activity can be used for individual work, partner activities, anticipatory sets, unit review, sub plans, extension activities, early-finishers, or just for fun the day before break.

 

A “Top Secret Case File” is read and your “lead detectives” have less than an hour to solve the case. (Time can be changed to whatever works best for you)

 

Oh, and before I forget…there’s also props included to make it feel like a “crime scene” and signs to hold up at the end when the CSI mystery is solved!

  • 4 Reading comprehension tasks
  • Case file dossier (recording sheet)
