Enjoy Your Long Weekend!

Agenda:
1 - Math tests corrected and signed by your parents - Due next Tuesday

2 - Read 20 - 30 minutes everyday - this includes reading to self, reading to others and listening to reading.

3 - Tomorrow is a PD day

4 - See the Create a Crime Scene Assignment Requirements below - We will create the rubric together on Monday and get started creating on Monday as well. 

Mark your calendars - Room 7 are heading to the Nose Hill Public library on Friday Nov. 2nd

We are currently looking at Place Value in math (Grade 5 - will look at numbers up to One Million and grade 6s will look at numbers greater than One Million.) We want to ensure we understand the place and value of large numbers prior to looking at operations involving numbers.
So, over the next few weeks you can do a few things to feel ready for operations - practice your basic multiplication facts!!! Grade 5 - please practice your basic facts up to 10x10 and grade 6s please practice your basic facts up to 12x12.
Here are a few resources to try at home:

Create A Crime Scene

Name: ________________

Today’s Date: Oct.25, 2018

Due Date: _________________

You will now have the opportunity to apply the many investigative techniques you have learned so far in Evidence and Investigation by creating a crime scene!

Your assignment is to create:

A)    A bird’s eye view of the crime scene (drawing/diagram). Label your objects (using a straight line).

The drawing/diagram must include at least 5 pieces of evidence/clues:

Examples:

-       Handwriting sample from a note left at the crime scene

-       Chromatography

-       Hair, Fabric, or a Fibre

-       Fingerprints

-       Footprints

-       Tire prints

-       Shoe/glove left at the scene

-       Object used to break in

-       DNA

-       Any other evidence that investigators might value

The 5 pieces of evidence must be represented by a zoom out. Example: if footprints were found inside of a building include a detailed, enlarged version of the footprint in a zoom out box.

B)    Provide a list of evidence:

Example: 1. Fingerprint          2………              3……….             4………..            5………..

C)    Provide a written explanation. What was the crime? How was the crime committed? Explanations must be based on the drawing/diagram and the evidence/clues. Add extra details that make your explanation interesting to read.

TIPS –

Be sure to do a draft of your crime scene on a scrap piece of paper

Please put your name on your project, include a title for your crime scene and use pencil crayons and you can outline in thin black sharpie.

You will spend a class showing your crime scene to your fellow classmates. They will have to use their investigative skills to find the evidence, analyze the evidence and try to solve your crime.
