Sept 5 and 6th, 2007
I want to welcome all my students to Forensic Class. I am very excited that you will be joining me this year to learn about a topic that I am very passionate and committed to teach.
Please read over the Student Contract again (course guidelines and requirements) so you clearly understand course expectations. Please have a parent (guardian) sign the contract and bring back to class tomorrow.
Make sure you have a notebook just designated for Forensics. Think about your the style of organization that you will like to use. Rmember, your notebooks will be graded twice this year and count as a "big part of the grade".
Please remember, too, that a lot of Primetime Crime Shows will be showcasing their Season Premierss. I encourage you to view at least one of these. You will be required to analyze 2 Crime Shows this year, independent of your classmates.
__________________has offered to do the first "Crime Watch Week" of 10 days. Further instructions on how to construct the poster and present findings to the class will be forthcoming to you on Monday. Remember that "Crime Watch Week" is a mandated requirement of the course, too.
