OBJECTIVES • Describe how sense of smell is utilized for investigations. • Explain why critical thinking is necessary when interviewing witnesses and persons of interest. HOMEWORK • Read “Common Scents” article about police dogs and answer the corresponding questions on a piece of looseleaf. AGENDA • Sharing of hw ideas/do now • Super sniffers activity pt. 1 • Critical thinking group reading

  2. Give & Get!Swapping information from the hw/do now • In the graphic organizer, fill in the boxes next to HW of what you were able to brainstorm. It’s ok if you can’t fit everything in, or couldn’t think of enough to fill the boxes. • Move to other tables and gather information from classmates that you DON’T already have until all boxes are filled in. OBJECTIVES Describe how sense of smell is utilized for investigations. Explain why critical thinking is necessary when interviewing witnesses and persons of interest.

  3. Super Sniffers pt. 1 • With your neighbor, read the information on the cards about police dogs • Decide how to organize the information into a “mindmap” graphic organizer • Once you have determined how to group the information that makes the most sense to you, copy the information into your notes as you have it organized. • MEANWHILE make sure you smell the jar  OBJECTIVES Describe how sense of smell is utilized for investigations.
