Description

Louisiana Purchase Reading Comprehension CSI Spy Mystery – Close Reading

Wow your students with theย Louisiana Purchaseย Reading Comprehension CSI Spy Mystery! Students will completeย 4 reading comprehension tasksย all while playing detective and finding clues to the case. Students will LOVE this close reading challenge!ย Great addition to your Westward Expansion unit.

 

Topics include: Westward Expansion,ย Louisiana Purchase, Thomas Jefferson, Lewis and Clark

 

Students will work individually (or in pairs) and race to see who can solve the case first! A friendly competition always increases engagement. After completing each โ€œtaskโ€ students will earn a โ€œCLUE CARDโ€ to help them eliminate suspects and evidence.

 

As students complete each task, they will bring you their answers for you to quickly check (donโ€™t worryโ€ฆeach task is short). After checking, students will earn a โ€œCLUE CARDโ€ 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 โ€œTop Secret Case Fileโ€ is read and your โ€œlead detectivesโ€ have less than an hour to solve the case. (Time can be changed to whatever works best for you)

 

Oh, and before I forgetโ€ฆthereโ€™s alsoย props includedย to make it feel like a โ€œcrime sceneโ€ and signs to hold up at the end when the CSI mystery is solved!
