For teachers who would like to incorporate the detective game into the student learning experience, and to make use of structured online materials, an appendix is attached at the end of the pack, which gives the game instructions and specific details about which learning objectives are covered in each stage of the game. Activities should be offered as homework assignments each week. They request more in-depth reading from the student in order to solve the puzzle.

 

As you will also have noticed, the materials are aimed at 4 types of students: TTO3, Havo and VWO 4 and vmbo 3 or 4. We appreciate that students in vmbo are more hands-on, and the students of year 4 are working towards their final exams, so you might wish to pick out one topic or a limited group of activities.
