    Reconstructing Crime Evidence?

    I have no idea where on the forum this topic would fit, so I'll just put it here and hope it's okay

    I'm going to be teaching an English class next year that is linked to a Medical academy for students. So I'm thinking of using CSI in a lesson plan and doing some medical briefs or investigation summary writing assignments. To do this I got the brainstorm of reconstructing evidence found at the scene of a crime. But I don't necessarily want to just recreate CSI storylines. Anybody got a good website or other resource I can use for doing this? Maybe you use something to create the evidence used in your mock trial? Your help is appreciated!

    Not sure what you're looking for -- but maybe you can find something useful in one of these links:

    That's all I could find with a quick search -- hope there's something here you can use

    Last week, I found this website with the possibility of getting free materials to go with it. I ordered the materials I wanted and received them already :!: . See what might help:

    But I also thought about Frankenstein. What about reading it and having the students look at the possibility of doing something like that? What did Mary Shelley not know about the body when she wrote this? What advances might make something similiar possible after a time?

    Good luck! It does sound like fun!
