Students in Maria Catalano’s ELA class investigated a crime scene as they prepared for a unit on where they will be reading The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe. The class collected evidence from the crime scene, dusted for fingerprints, and tested for blood to create a hypothesis about what might have happened. They will then compare what they found at this crime scene to what happened in the Tell Tale Heart. The idea behind this activity was for the students to look at details and concrete evidence that is presented in a text. #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride
