This resource is designed to engage students in a fun and interactive way, focusing on the importance of following directions and listening skills through a 'Detective' theme. The mission involves practicing one-step commands to prepare for a reading investigation. It outlines the success criteria for staying focused and following instructions without pausing, and introduces relevant vocabulary such as 'Routine' and 'Listen' to help students understand the objectives. A warm-up activity, 'Simon Says (Detective Edition)', is included to actively involve students in listening and following directions. The document also encourages reflective thinking with activities like drawing or listing actions practiced, and emphasizes the use of 'Detective Ears' for attentive listening during reading time.
