What educators are saying
This one is a blast-- students love guessing who the culprit is! It also does a great job showing the power of suggestion.
I use this resource in my Forensics course when we talk about testimonial evidence. It is engaging and helps show how eyewitnesses are not 100% reliable.
Great activity.
