I was a student of Mrs. Harris, Mr. Kiel, and Mr. Kohlmeier two years ago. I had the privilege of working in the crime scene investigation by playing the part of the prosecuting attorney. This project was such a great influence on my life because it allowed my fellow students and I to go beyond the textbook and into real life. I recommend this book to any teacher interested in generating excitement in the classroom.

B.Harris, R.Kiel, and K.Kohlmeier are my current english, science, and history teachers. When we did the crime scene, it was a great learning experiance and a great way to find out what lawyers and jury members REALLY go through. I really enjoyed doing this project. We took fiber samples, hair fibers, fingerprints, shoeprints and analized them in science. We wrote out the reports in english, and in history we recived our jobs from Kris Kohlmeier. I was a Defense Attorney. We had about two weeks to prepare for the real trial. It was really fun, but everyone was really nervous. I thought it was fun that they filmed us and that we had a real jury. My favorite part was when we found out the final verdict(even though 2 of our 3 clients were guily). But it was still fun! Over all I had a blast doing this and I learned alot!! I am really glad my teachers wrote this book, so other teachers can read it and teach other students, and give them the same experiance that I have recived.

B.Harris, R.Kiel, and K.Kohlmeier are my current English,Science, and History teachers. When our class did the crime scene investigation we picked jobs and wrote out an application to see if we were qualified. I wanted to be a prosecuting criminolgist and I made it....this project was fun, exciting, and about the real world. I enjoyed doing this because we not only had fun but did learn something as well.

Barbara Harris, Kris Kohlmeier,& Robert D.Kiel are my English, History, & Science teachers. The crime scene investigation that we did in our class was very educational because we first analyzed the writing evidence and filled out police reports and then in history we all filled out job applications and then Kris Kohlmeier gave us jobs. I was a prosecuting criminologist. Then we had a trial and we all acted our parts and went up on stage and they filmed us. Then in science class we collected evidence and matched it with the three suspects. It was really fun and in the end we found out the jury's verdict. (which was they were all guilty :>)This was the most fun I have ever had while learning something at the same time. Heather Quartino(student at Woodrow Wilson Middle Scool)

This is an excellent book. The tools and origantially of it is amazing. If you are a teacher and are looking for a group project to do with other teachers, get this book.

It was a pleasure not just to read but also to be in the audinance. I think all of the teacher did a great job. Not only did the kids learn but they found out how the system works. We can look forward to alot of great kids when teachers like these go out of their way not just teach but make things almost life like.

I think dthe book is great. It has wonderful ideas and great teaching methods. Its a fine teaching tool and it a great project to work with.
