Description
Boost interest before you even introduce the text of Romeo and Juliet by presenting students with a crime scene and asking them to solve the crime. Students take on the following roles, each taking turns to lead the investigation:
- CSI Team Leader
- Coroner
- Toxicologist
- Detective (witness statements)
- Detective (evidence locker)
- Investigator (suspects)
Students work through crime scene maps, toxicology reports, coroner's reports, witness and suspect information, and cross-reference it all before feeding their conclusions back to the class.
This product is also included in my High School Combo BUNDLE.
Can be completed with groups of six or four students, and as many groups in a class as you need. Works with blocks as short as 50 minutes and as long as 100.
Check out the full preview. This resource is provided in both US letter and UK A4 document size.
