Forensic Science: Case Study Investigation
The Case Study Investigation report provides students with an opportunity to conduct an in-depth analysis of a case. Forensics plays a role in all of the cases to some degree - in some of the cases forensic analysis was key to arriving at a thorough understanding of the elements of the crime, whereas in some of the other cases the lack of forensic testing, either because it was not done or because it was not available, proved equally significant. The list of cases represents a broad mix in term

Internet Citation Scavenger Hunt
Even though we live in a "digital world", students often do not know how to find information on the internet. Many of my students believed "Google" and "Yahoo" were citations, not understanding those are only search engines.
After discussing with students how to conduct research, this scavenger hunt helps reinforce citing our website sources! Students spend time finding answers to the questions, citing where the answer came from to prove the answer.
Each page has different point values, with

Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt
I love William Shakespeare. I love the language, the time-period he lived in, and the timeless themes that his plays have. I tend to teach a lot of Shakespeare. I like to do the Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt in my school’s library but you can do it in the computer lab as well. It’s just a basic series of questions about Shakespeare and his time-period. I like to have my students go to the library because it gives them a chance to move around. Doing a scavenger hunt like this is also more fun than j

Mini-Research Project - Holocaust/ Night by Elie Wiesel
This is a research project I used with 10th grade reluctant and new researchers as an introduction to our study of Elie Wiesel's memoir, Night. It could also be used for a history class or a novel study on a related topic. It is done in the style of an "expert" project in that it's written to be used for one day a week for a 52-minute class period (I used Friday), but some of the mini-assignments might not take the entire class period. My school uses Questia and Galileo for research databases,

This is a very flexible project for you or for a sub that could take 90 minutes or be turned into a unit, depending on how you wish to proceed.

Persuasive Speeches That Are Actually Pretty Good
You should be skeptical of anyone who tells you there's a way to get great speeches out of high school (or even middle school) students. However, I can tell you that unless you're using some of the techniques in this unit plan, you're not getting the most out of your students.
Basically, instead of just following the textbook or the other teachers in my department, I decided to just watch about a dozen great speeches. I then used a list of literary terms to determine which elements were most i
