We have finally collected the evidence in twelve evidence bags. Isn't it strange that these official evidence bags require some information about their contents?
I've quickly discovered that most students would rather throw down a one or two words in a blank and call it "good enough". As I have much higher expectations, I've had to demonstrate - with these evidence bags - more of the type of work that I expect. In this case, we found ourselves describing the location of each piece of evidence and the items themselves.
