A note to teachers
Our dear fellow teachers,
In the workpack you are about to start using you will find a series of activities to be used
with your students both before and after watching the BAP play of your choice.
You will find that most of the activities have been graded according to levels, which
might imply age or language development or both.
You will also come across different types of activities, which in most cases we have
decided to categorize as follows: The Story; Characters; Words, Words, Words!;
Grammar & Structures; Drama Games & Activities. In many cases, however, as
in the classroom and in life, categories tend to merge and combine and evolve, so
that one activity may lend itself to something else.
Towards the end of the pack you will see the Teacher’s Corner, where we have grouped
some ideas we felt like sharing with you alone, and not with all your students.
All these are simply suggestions. You are the one who knows your students, so
please feel free to play around with this workpack as much as you want to.
Have a magical BAP experience, and do let us know what worked
best for you and your students!
All our love,
The Teachers Team

Irene: Mr Sherrinford was trying to break his partnership with Mr.Bishop... Bishop is
dangerous...
Watson: Dangerous? What do you mean dangerous?
Sherlock: Watson, why are you asking all these questions to Irene?
Watson: (only to Holmes) Holmes, she is the one that found the body, she was one of the last
ones to see Sherrinford alive...we need to question her about the events...
Sherlock: Do you think she did it?
Irene: Excuse me, am I a suspect?
Sherlock: No!
Watson: Yes!
Sherlock: Is she?
Irene: Am I?
Watson: Of course you are, you are his assistant and you knew all his secrets...
Irene: But when I left last night he was alive… safe and sound, and Mr. Bishop and his
nephew were with him!
James: Irene, what’s wrong?
Sherlock: Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it...(to the audience) you have to be subtle with this
kind of news, be supportive (to James)... Mr. Martin... your uncle is dead!!! (starts crying
madly)
James: What? What are you talking about?
Irene: I found him in his office, not breathing...
James: I just came from his office, and there is no one there...
Irene: What? This can’t be possible... (the bell rings – a man enters).
James: Bishop? What are you doing here?
Watson: Who are you, sir?
Bishop: I am Arthur Bishop. I am here to see Mr Sherrinford...
Irene: (Shouts in the other room and comes in with an envelope) He has disappeared!! And

Shadow: (ROBOT-LIKE VOICE) Mr. Holmes, Miss Watson I am the Shadow and as you might
have probably guessed I am winning this game...
Watson: What is this?
Shadow: Three people saw Mr. Sherrinford last night. One of them killed him. I took his body,
now you will have one hour to discover the murderer and solve this case
Sherlock: One hour? What happens after an hour?
Watson: This is a recording... he can’t hear you.
Shadow: If the case is not solved within one hour, you and Ms Watson will be dead. Please
don’t make the mistake of calling the police; they won’t be able to help you. All the doors
have been secured and no one can get in or out.
James: (He tries to open the door, but it is locked.) It’s true...we are trapped...
Shadow: Good luck to you both...you will need it. Hahaha
Watson: So, we had one hour, a big mystery, three suspects and no body...
Sherlock: So where do we start?
Watson: Bishop, let’s start with Bishop.
Sherlock: Alright people, we will question you one by one to understand what is happening
here and we will start with...you!
Innocent or Guilty?
Now, think of possible alibis for each of the three suspects (Irene, James and
Mr. Bishop).

Teacher’s corner - Suggested activities
Activities 16, 17 & 18
These activities could also be useful for “script writing” and performing.
Site suggested for this development:
https://storybird.com Storybird for story writing and reading
http://scratch.mit.edu/ Scratch for animated story
Who am I?
Make a headband. Ask one student to come to the front and stick a card (with one
of the characters from the play) on the headband so that he cannot see it. He/she
will have to ask their mates YES/NO questions to find out who he/she is…
Watch a movie or TV series!
You can watch any of the many versions of Sherlock Holmes with your students
and compare the characters’ personalities.
Make a poster announcing your outing, as if it were an ad inviting other people.
The moral
“BElieve in YOUrself!”
“Be true to yourself!”
Invite your students to talk about those moments when they find it difficult to
believe in themselves.
