When students came to school, last Wednesday, they probably didn't count on the experience of investigating a murder and collecting evidence. It's all part of our Evidence Deeper Learning Project, which is designed to show a correlation between reading, science, and history.
In each of these subjects, the individual is called upon to find the evidence for the case. In reading, the main idea must be supported by details from the text. In science, conclusions must be provable by experimentation. In history, a sequence of actions and reactions have been made to result in a conclusion, as well. The skills are similar, so I decided to bunch them up into a single, tight package. From here, we will attempt to build a foundation when students look for artifacts within fiction and non-fiction texts, scenarios, and scenes. I'm certainly looking for mastery of all of these skills.
