Pupils' Information Sheet

Your Role:

You are the Headteacher of Seyster High School.

Your pupils have been seen vandalising a local bus stop. It is up to you to find out who those pupils are and what really happened that afternoon.

  1. Decide who will be the Communicator, who will be the Investigator and who will be the Record Keeper.
  2. Log on to the Digicom where you will be able to read messages as they come in from the webmail.
  3. Use the database of School Records to help you make a list of suspects and find out more about individual pupils.
  4. Make sure you keep a record on the Incident Review Form of who you think is responsible and why. Be ready to hand these in at regular intervals.
  5. Be ready at the end of the activity to present your ideas on 'who did it' and how you know to the rest of your class.

Communicator

  • Read every message aloud to the rest of your group.
  • It is your job to make sure every team member has heard every message.

Investigator

  • Use the clues you are given and the school records to create a list of suspects.
  • Try to narrow it down to the actual culprits.
  • If you can, have the school records on a different computer.

Record Keeper

  • Keep a record of who your group thinks did it and how you have worked this out.
  • Every 15 minutes or so, your teacher will ask you to hand in an Incident Review Form - it is your job to make sure this is up to date.

EVERYBODY - WORK TOGETHER, SHARE IDEAS, TRY TO WORK OUT THE TRUTH
