Crime Story - Interactive Crime Scene Investigations!

As an English teacher for over 11 years, I became captivated by the challenge of engaging students across diverse learning levels while navigating outdated teaching methods. Drawing from my 14 years as a Detective, I discovered that sharing compelling anecdotes and creating mock crime scene investigations sparked student interest. I developed immersive methods to engage participants as investigators, focusing on authentic dialogue, research skills, deep imagery, and intriguing character development. Through this approach, I found that crime scene analysis could also facilitate research and academic writing, allowing students to take charge of their investigations, build confidence, and experiment across the curriculum. The secret to deeper learning? Asking the right questions.
