Detective Bossley is back with a new case that takes place in a high school. A prankster is pulling the school's fire alarm, causing a daily headache for students and staff. Who is behind this annoying prank, and what is the motive?
This English mystery course (for teen to adult learners) features 12 lessons full of expressions (idioms, phrasal verbs, etc.) and characters that your intermediate to advanced students will get to know as they try to figure out who is behind the crime. Each episode features a recorded (downloadable) dialogue between Detective Bossley and a student, staff member, or other suspect. Lessons include vocabulary development tasks, recorded dialogues and scripts, role-plays, comprehension and discussion questions, and handy grammar tips. Your students will make predictions throughout the course and help solve the case. Please preview the content before doing this lesson in class.
This series is available in print or digital formats. Some tasks are not included in the digital versions. The Clue File and Detective's Dictionary are print-only reference sheets and should be shared with students before you begin.
