Service Learning L.I.A.

Literal:

My log: It has been turned in already. But I attended the Academy at Baldwin Park from October to January. Every Saturday and Sunday from 7:00 am- 6:00 pm.

Contact: Terri Armenta  (see on log)

Interpretive: 

The most important thing I gained from this experience would definitely have to be the knowledge. I have learned so much more than I ever expected. I could have read it in books but it would have never been the same. I had hands on experiences that I will not forget. I met amazing people that helped me further understand tings that I didn't before.Another thing I gained was some courage; courage to actually go out and talk to people to get a hold of what is out there. Things will not come to me, I have to reach for them. The teachers at the Academy showed me that it is ok to speak up if I know things, and showed me that thinking outside the box is important. I mostly gained more love for the job. Yes, it's gross, but I respect it so much more and it is very very interesting! I have a lot more learning to do though, if I actually end up going in this field.

Applied:

Like I mentioned before, I could have read all this in books, but I think I would have had different answers than the ones that I have now. But because I had the hands on experience I was able to break things up and see why each of my answers was put in the order they were put in. With all the simulations, I was able to go through the process of each of my answers. And when I would dissect the simulation at the end of the day,putting the answers in the way I did made more sense to me. It was also this place that helped me make my essential question. They were the ones that showed me that worProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0

ng matters in certain fields.

2 hr. Presentation Rough Draft

(1) What is your sponge activity?
I will have a crime scene set up and I may ask them to write down everything they see, just like a detective would.

(2) What do you plan to do and say in the introduction?*
I plan to say my name, and what my senior project is. I will tell them what a Forensic Pathologist is and what their duties are. I won't go into what the plan is, because if I do it may ruin one of the lessons.

(3) What do you plan to say in your foundation?
I may share a bit about the history and how autopsies and medicolegal activity came to be. I need help in this section.

(4) What will your 2 or 3 answers be for your 2 hour?
My first answer is : The evidence from the body. That consists of other subcategories like postmortem changes and wounds.
My second answer is: The evidence from the crime scene. The subcategories are numerous. Like blood stain patten analysis, trajectory analysis, and other trace evidence.
My third answer is : The evidence from eye witnesses and that goes into psychological autopsies.

(5) What activities will you do for each answer and why?
For my first activity I have no idea what to do. I know that I will teach them and show them what the different postmortem changes are, but I do not know how to encorporate that with an activity. I want it to be a hands on thing.
For my second answer, since I will have a crime scene. I may have them going around and taking a better look at the scene, maybe measure the evidence out, or have them use the luminol on the walls or floor.
For my third activity I will have someone come in and do something "radical" Something simple, but believable that woill be random and I will have them write down everything they saw, just like eyewitnesses do.

(6) How do you plan to conclude your 2 hour?*
I will tell them, that most crimes always have trace evidence, no crime happens without anything being left behind. And I will tell them that the smallest things, wich many people can over look can tell us so many things.

(7) How do you plan to decorate the room?
the room may be turned into a big crime scene, I don"t want to have like 9 different scenes for each group. So there may be some walls with washed off blood on them so that they can spray the luminol.

(8) What supplies/resources will you need to make your 2 hour possible?
A person willing to be my "radical" subject. And a good crime scene.
