Blog 2 - Timeline

Hi all!

I hope you are all enjoying your half term!

The task that I would like you to complete over the break is to create a timeline of the crime that you have been allocated. This timeline should start from the time that the crime took place and finish when the person/people were convicted. If no one was convicted, go as far as you can with the information you have.

I would like your timeline to be completed on a publisher file, as this allows you the freedon to move text boxes with ease and add arrows to your diagrams. Your timeline should follow a format similar to the picture below. All information should be placed along a line, in chronological order, with dates and times, as well as descriptions of the event that took place at that time.

 

You may include photographs or diagrams, but please remember that this document should aim to be as professional as possible. The above is an example of layout. Do not copy the style of font or clipart.

I would like your timelines to be printed and brought to the first lesson back after half term (6th November 2015).

Blog 1 - Bibliography

Hi all!

For this post, I would like you to begin to evaluate the quality of information that you are accessing.

In your post, please include a Harvard reference to a resource that you have used for your criminal profile. I would then like you to answer the following questions:

1. Is this a reliable source?
2. Who can edit the information on this resource?
3. How can I tell if the information on this resource is correct and accurate?
4. What other resources could I get this information from?

I would then like you to revisit this blog when more people have posted and answer the same questions but for someone else's source. This will check your ability to use a Harvard reference to access information.

You must begin to use Harvard referencing in your assignments. I would like you to compile a Harvard reference list for the resources you used in your profiles. This will be submitted with your final assignment.
