Classroom Learning
In science this month, we have started a new unit on evidence. Today, in the middle of a lesson on suspects, we had an interruption when Mrs. O ran into our classroom and knocked over chairs, eventually running out with a stuffed owl. This gave us the opportunity to practice preparing witness statements. We divided the class into 3 groups. The first group completed their witness statements independently and silently. The 2nd group worked together to create one witness statement. And the third group created one witness statement, which was (incorrectly) influenced by Ms. Rohrbacher. Through this, we learned about the reliability of witness statements, and the many differences we had between ours. Police will be expecting differences in witness statements, and so will watch out for similarities to help further their investigation.
