8th Grade Forensics Final Evidence Boards

 Our eighth graders did fantastic work on our fictitious murder mystery of seventh grader Freddy Baker. The evidence boards helped them synthesize all of the information they gathered during the unit:
*they viewed the crime scene and made objective observations of catalogued evidence
*they heard from seven witnesses (Mrs. Russo, Mr. Geneen, Mr. Griffith, Mr. Kuklakis, Freddy's classmate, Ms. Rusch & Mr. Smith)
*they viewed additional evidence packets (Freddy's class schedule, Spanish seating chart and bathroom sign-out, health record, anecdotal from Ms. Haft, discipline letter from Ms. Rusch, staff key sign-out)
*they ran forensic tests on the catalogued evidence (decoding, DNA, foot to stride, blood typing, blood spatter and fingerprinting).
