The 39 Clues Series 

What would happen if you discovered that your family was one of the most powerful and important ones in human history?

What if you were told that your family’s secret was hidden around the world in the form of 39 Clues?

What would you do if you had the choice between

• taking a million dollars and walking away …
• or getting the first CLUE … that might lead you to the second CLUE… and the third….?

Let’s discuss this in class.

In the 39 Clues the siblings Dan and Amy experience life-threatening adventures as they travel across the globe to find the 39 clues that will lead to a family secret that can save the world.

Each book plays in a different country and part of the world.  I have used the series in year 4 (age 13-14), both in Mittelschule and in AHS. For weaker learners a new graphic novel version has just been published. I have not yet tried it, but I am sure this will be a perfect solution for a differentiated approach where the learners can all work on a common goal, even if their reading levels are not the same.

Have a look at the project packages for the learners. 

	Materials used in Mittelschule:  Include some grammar work on the past progressive  form and on the past perfect tense.		Materials used in AHS, less scaffolding.
