The Evidence! project takes students at the beginning of the school year into concepts that span the rest of their lives. With strict adherence to the plan within the 15-day structure, we will soon find ourselves learning about all sorts of things, including the prehistoric Mississippian People, Rocks and Minerals, Multiples and Patterns, the Mystery Genre, and much more. Minds will be reeling with logic puzzles and red herrings, and before we know it, the class will even solve, or attempt to solve, a "murder".
The latest Deeper Learning Project is up and running for next year's class to pilot. This project, dubbed Evidence! is one that introduces the concepts of observation and data collection in all areas of the curricula. For instance, we can easily see a correlation between solving for an unknown integer in Algebra (by using the information presented) and in inferring from a provided statement or paragraph (or crime scene) in reading. In each case, students must look at the facts present, follow stated rules for solving (e.g., finding patterns or using the inverse operation), and solve based on those basic observations without reading too much into the situation.
