There are three extracts here from three Sherlock Holmes stories (A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four and The Speckled Band). This is followed by five reading tasks and six writing tasks. This was originally set as cover work and can be completed independently, and is at least three lessons of work. It was created for KS3 but would still be appropriate at KS4 as it uses AQA Lanuguage Paper style tasks. Furthermore, students would not have needed to study Sherlock Holmes in order to complete this work.
The tasks are:
- Reading the extracts provided
- Simple list four things tasks (information retrieval)
- A grid asking getting students to consider the start, middle and end of the extract (structure analysis)
- Students are asked to explain the create a factfile about Sherlock Holmes’ character, collecting a range of quotations as evidence.
- An opinion task which gives students statements on each source which they have to explain whether they agree or not (evaluation).
- The writing tasks are varied between writing the opening of the own detective stories, writing from Holmes’ perspective, a review on the extracts, a non-fiction article on the modern police force.
A simple and easy stand-alone resource. The sheet is a back to back sheet of A4 which can be folded into a mini A5 booklet for students to store easily in exercise books- it also requires minimal photocopying!
