Introduce the lesson and the detective theme. Remind the student that they will be using their observation skills to solve a mystery. Mention that the slide deck is designed to present clues in a fun, interactive way.

Show an initial slide with a simple mystery scenario. Engage with simple language that a 1st grader can understand. Ask the student what they think is going on.

Introduce the next slide with more clues that build the narrative. Prompt students to think about the clues: who, what, and why. Keep the language simple and engaging.

Add another clue. Show an image of a detective badge or a magnifying glass if possible, to keep the interactive element. Ask guiding questions to maintain engagement.

Wrap up the slide deck with a slide that asks the student to synthesize the clues. This slide is meant to encourage the student to conclude based on the evidence gathered.

A final slide to conclude the investigation. Praise the student's detective work, discuss potential decisions based on the evidence, and encourage thinking about other mystery scenarios.
