Often Historians work in a similar way to real
life murder detectives in order to piece together
evidence and work out what happened.
Today we need your help to solve a murder mystery !
You are a police detective (CSI) called in to investigate
the crime scene after a neighbour made 000 call and
reported seeing broken glass on the front lawn.
It’s tough on the streets, be careful out there!
The crime scene
What questions spring to mind?
Write them down.
What help do the following items provide?
a) The broken window
b) The footprint
c) The empty wine glasses
d) The unopened handbag
e) The camera
Time span/chronology:
What evidence could help us to accurately
assess the time of death?
Now write down a
paragraph detailing what
you think happened – this
will be your report back to
headquarters.
Summary (Copy the following)
History is like being a detective, you need
to piece together evidence.
See more than one perspective or view.
Try to draw conclusions and decide what
actually occurred.
Seek out and research extra material to
help you solve what happened.
There are a number of CSI type
investigations on the link below.
Use the skills we have discussed in class today
and apply them in a different situation.
Enjoy the rest of
your day and
see you next
week!!
