A Foreign-language Lesson Plan
Involving the topic “Crimes and Punishment”
Phase 1: Ask the students about the main factor of an advanced-developed society. Ask them if a society can be called developed in case it doesn’t have any
system of punishment. Ask the students: Who maintains the system of punishment and whether police is the only social institution that solves crimes and
punishes criminals.
Share the goals of the lesson with the learners. Tell them that after the lesson, they will be able to recognize the types of crimes and other words related to
the system of punishment. Furthermore, they will learn more information about one of the most outstanding detectives of the world – Sherlock Holmes, his
techniques of solving cases and they will also try to solve the case and to find the robber.
Next, invite them to suggest real-life situations in which they may have to discuss or describe some crime in a foreign language.
Time: 5 min
Development: existential type of intelligence
Phase 2: Ask the students what they know about Sherlock Holmes. You can ask some leading questions: Where is he from? Why is he so famous? Did he gain
world-wide recognition? What crimes did he solve? Did he have companions/assistants? What is his method of conducting an investigation? What traits of
character helped him? Tell the students that now they are going to check whether they were right or not.
Invite the students to read out the text entitled "The Mystery of Sherlock Holmes" to the learners. Ask them to listen carefully and to pay special attention
to the various types of crimes (reading for getting specific information). You could also invite one of the learners to do the reading.
Sherlock Holmes is the fictional creation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who wrote about the detective in a series of 60 stories published between 1887 and
1927. Holmes was famous for his extra-keen powers of observation and deduction, which he used to solve perplexing crimes and mysteries, such as:
assassination, mugging, perjury, treason, blackmailing. But most of all he enjoyed cases of forgery, homicides, robberies and swindling.
Holmes states that he first developed his methods of deduction while an undergraduate. Holmes's primary intellectual detection method is deductive
reasoning of the solution to a crime. Deductive reasoning allows Holmes to impressively reveal a stranger's occupation.

His earliest cases, which he pursued as an amateur, came from fellow university students. According to Holmes, it was an encounter with the father of
one of his classmates that led him to take up detection as a profession, and he spent the six years following university working as a consulting detective solving
first only misdemeanors and then turning to more serious cases of manslaughter, felony, embezzlement and trespassing.
He operated from his flat at 221b Baker Street in London, assisted by his friend Dr. Watson. Until the arrival of Dr. Watson, Holmes worked alone, only
occasionally employing agents from the city's underclass, including a host of informants and a group of street children he calls "the Baker Street Irregulars".
The nefarious criminal Professor Moriarty appears as Holmes's antagonist in some of the tales.
Sherlock Holmes was an immediate hit in Doyle's day and remains so popular that he is sometimes mistaken for a real historical figure. Among the most
famous Holmes stories are A Study in Scarlet (the first Sherlock Holmes story, 1887) and The Hound of the Baskervilles (1902).
Time: 10 min
Development: verbal-linguistic, inter-personal types of intelligence
Phase 3: Divide the learners into pairs and ask them to list different crimes mentioned in the text and to provide answers to the following questions:
What kinds of cases did Sherlock Holmes solve when being an amateur detective?
What types of crimes did Holmes like most of all?
Why do you think he liked cases of these kinds most of all?
What kinds of crimes did Holmes’s deduction help him to solve?
In which way did it help him according to your point of view?
What are the most difficult crimes to solve, to your mind?
Time: 5 min
Development: inter-personal, Logical-mathematical, verbal-linguistic types of intelligence

4. T. Kuzminykh, K. Kuznetsova, Y. Bryukhova 752 group
Phase 4: Ask the students what traits of character helped Sherlock Holmes to solve crimes. What other traits of character could have helped him if he had them.
Ask the learners to make individual description of an ideal detective, which traits of character he/she should posses, how he/she should solve cases, which
cases he/she will like most of all and why, whether he/she should work alone or with a companion, whether he/she should have a detective agency, whether
he/she will help the police in investigations or they will compete, etc. Ask several people to tell to the class about their ideal detective.
Time: 10 min
Development: Intra-personal, existential, verbal-linguistic types of intelligence
Phase 5: Tell the students that now they are going to try to feel what it is like to be a detective or investigator.
Divide the learners into 3 groups and give each group a picture of the crime scenes shown below. Ask each group to find the items listed on the left side of
the picture.
When they finish, ask them what a detective can take as evidences; what an investigator should look for on a crime scene; how a detective find can
evidences; etc.
Time: 10 min
Development: Visual-spatial, inter-Personal types of intelligence

Phase 6: When the learners finish, ask them whether it was difficult to find evidences. Invite them to play a role play and find out the robber. Follow the tips:
• Explain to the students that they have witnessed a crime.
• Ask them to read the roles that you give them
• Give each student a role.
• Allow them time to read their roles and then tell them to stand up and mingle with the entire group.
• As they mingle they should share the information about their roles to one another.
• At the end of the activity put the students into pairs and ask them to tell each other all of the information that they found out from the other students.
• As a follow up activity ask the students to write a report of the crime based on the information that they found out.
Time: 20 min

Phase 7: Ask the students if a society should have different punishments for different crimes and whether it is important for a society to have a well-structured
system of punishment.
Divide the learners into new groups of three and ask each group:
• to decide among themselves what kinds of crime are the most serious ones
• to categorize the mentioned in the text types of crime and to create their own crimes and punishment system, as shown in the example
• Present their tables in front of the class
Crimes of Example Society X
Time: 15 min
Killing People Punishment Level 11
Stealing/Vandalism Punishment Level 9
Treason, Sedition and speaking Punishment Level 7
against the Government
Assaulting A Guard or Soldier Punishment Level 5

Development: inter-personal, Logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, naturalistic types of intelligence
Phase 8: Ask students what type of crime they consider to be the most severe one. Ask the learners if a homicide is a serious crime. Now suggest them to watch a
video fragment from the film “The Study in Scarlet” how Sherlock Holmes solves a case of murder (watching for getting specific information).
• Let them watch the fragment for the first time.
• When finished ask the students to do the task with true/false statements individually, see the table bellow
• Check the answers and discuss the them with the class
• Let the learners watch the fragment for the second time
• Ask the students to continue the story suggesting their own end in written form
Let the learners watch the fragment for 2 times. When they finish check their answers. Only after that they can begin writing the end of the story.
Time: 20 min
Development: Verbal-linguistic, visual-spatial, musical-rhythmical, Intra-personal types of intelligence

9. Sherlock Holmes said that the culprit was a woman named Rachel
Phase 9: As the final phase of the lesson, ask your learners to work with a computer game “The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes 2” and help him to solve all the
cases in order to find the evil genius who planned all the crimes.
Ask the students whether professor James Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes have something in common; what traits of character both of them have; whether
the same traits of character and skills can be used both for good and for bad, etc.
Time: 25 min
Development: visual-spatial, intra-personal, existential types of intelligence
Phase 10: Reflection. Ask student to tell what they learnt during the lessons on the topic, which tasks they liked most of all and why, whether they liked such form
of lesson or not and why. They should fill in the graphic organizer of the reflection and then you can suggest them to discuss their emotions/feelings in class.
Here the students are asked to devise a series of actions and to place them on the two axes (reward and level of difficulty). Here the reflection is in two
phases: firstly the students have to devise the list of “points to plot”, and then they must decide where each action is best placed.

According to Gardner (1983, 1993, 1999) and Berman (1998/2002), verbal-linguistic learners enjoy expressing themselves orally and in writing, and love wordplay,
riddles and listening to stories. Mathematical-logical learners display an aptitude for numbers, reasoning and problem solving, whereas visual-spatial learners tend
to think in pictures and mental images, and enjoy illustrations, charts, tables and maps. Bodily-kinesthetic learners experience learning best through various kinds
of movement, while musical-rhythmic learners learn best through songs, patterns, rhythms and musical expression. Intrapersonal learners are reflective and
intuitive about how and what they learn, whereas interpersonal learners like to interact with others and learn best in groups or with a partner. Naturalist learners
love the outdoors and enjoy classifying and categorizing activities. Existentialist learners, finally, are concerned with philosophical issues such as the status of
mankind in relation to universal existence.
