Making A "Crime Scene"


Hello!

Today we investigated Room 214's crime scene by using our inferencing skills!!

For "voice and choice" options my students asked to make iMovies of "crimes" which would apply their 21st Century Skills and then they could AirPlay them to have us use our inferencing skills to figure out what happened.






I am so impressed with their creativity and application of skills/strategies!!

Bravo,

Ms. Wenzel
