| | Students might have been surprised to be tasked with investigating items collected in police evidence bags. Each group had unique items to evaluate and describe before creating their own stories to go along with them. I have been emphasizing the concept of looking for details in all subjects, and this activity fell right into that concept. I encouraged them to look for marks, scratches, printing, etc. and try to include those details in their descriptions. |
The project gained a life of its own as the classroom became silent and every kid wrote. With a unique experience, they were all inspired to get their ideas on paper.
