  evidence and then test it in order to catch the

  staged around the village of Upware.

  suspects but their names and descriptions are
  withheld.

6th Activity Session

• The Session will have been running for about an
  hour.
• In a lower ability group it may be that suspect
  sheets could be given out to enable the
  enthusiasm to continue.
• See disc for suspect files
• If questions are still being asked and everything
  is still vibrant then these can wait until the
  end.
• The session should end in thirty minutes.

17
After the computer session-preparation for the
activity day.

• Once all descriptions have been obtained and a
  pen picture of each suspect is known a statement
  from each of the witnesses should be written.
• This should include what the witnesses said the
  suspect was doing. This may prove to be
  important- It may link evidence to a particular
  person!
• Once the statements are written the suspect
  sheets can be given out- Are they on the right
  track-Everyone should be happy they are ready for
  the activity day!
