Week 19
"Solving the Mystery" con modales de deducción.

What will we achieve today?

Session Objective: Formulates deductions and hypotheses collaboratively to solve an interactive mystery scenario using past modals.

Community Connection: We will connect this language structure to describe our own life experiences, family stories, and community realities in Popayán and the Cauca region.

Key Concepts

• Hypothesizing in past: 'It must have been the gardener because...', 'She might have forgotten her keys...'.
• Linking clues logically: using words like 'since', 'because', 'therefore'.
• Collaborative problem-solving: Sharing clues and building a consensus theory.

Practical Challenge: Detective Syndicate

In groups of 3, examine 6 clue cards of a cold case (e.g., Marie Celeste ship disappearance) and draft a 5-sentence final report using past modals of deduction.

Reflection & Wrap-up

Self-assessment Question: Present your group's solution to the class, explaining your reasoning based on the clues.
