Preparation and Tutorial Video Copy

Preparation

• Organize the mock crime scene:
  • If possible, move furniture to one end of the room to clear an area for setting the scene.
  • Turn over a chair. Place an opened bag or backpack next to it. Put some odds and ends near the bag to make it look as if the bag has been searched.
  • Sprinkle some sand near the chair.
  • Place “membership card” on floor between door and chair, but away from where students will sit.
  • Rub lotion on hands and place one hand on a window or chalkboard.

• Using the 1/4 inch graph paper, create your mock crime scene sketch:
  • Put in windows, doors and evidence labeled A, B and C (Scale: 1/2 in=1 ft.)
  • Make enough copies for each student
• Assemble supplies for student groups.
• Leave the room and attach crime scene tape across doorway. Make sure you have the Instructor’s Guide.
• Organize students in groups of 4.
