Here is a list of tasks and some other thoughts that I have. I also posted on the discussion page.

1- **Timetable**- some assumptions I made- completed project by December 15- gives us roughly 12 weeks of class time (not knowing what days off you guys have)- can work phase 1 and 2 in parallel, then phase 3 follwed by 4. Give equal time for each phase: 4 weeks- backing in gives me the finish dates listed below.
 * phase 1 (starting immediately and completed by 10/13): teach core competencies (we need to decide what these will be- interviewing, crime scene sketches and photography, fingerprints, some type of trace evicence (hair, soil, fibers- just need microscope access) can add skills throughout project but must give students enough to create cold case
 * phase 2 (done in parallel to phase 1): completed by 10/13- select case and create case file to share (we need to decide on how to share- wiki? case study form, reinactment)
 * Phase 3 (start when ready and comple by 11/10): create 1 case per class but divide work up within the class.i.e. (need to decide jobs and requirements) example: story group (writes scenario), crime scene documentation group- creates photos and/or sketches of crime scene; fingerprint group, trace evicence group
 * Phase 4 (starts upon arrival of cold case box ~ 11/12 and end with discussion with creating class- before chritsmas break ~ 12/15 or so)- need to figure out how to get classes to interact- skype, wiki, etc.

2- **supplies**: we need to pay for shipping (boxes too); I have some middle school appropriate books that I can send to you kim if you want- do we all have microscopes, digitial cameras, etc? 3- **create case study form** (used for phase 2 and 4) 4- **establish list of "experts**"- I"m working on my husband and his friends- will let you know by end of next week. I also reached out to the people from the Siemens workshop who had usefull contacts. 5- other things????

//8/24/10 This all looks wonderful! Let me jump over to the discussion page. It's late and I will add more tomorrow. Thanks for all the work and planning. Are you in school yet? We are.// //Linda//
