      You are the dream team of the new reality TV series, CSI: VANIER. You have been called to a crime scene where King Duncan was discovered dead on the floor of the guest room in Macbeth’s home. His body has been taken to the morgue, but nothing else has been disturbed. The police are stumped and, due to the high profile nature of the case, have asked you to collect and analyze the evidence to solve this mystery.
       In preparation, students will work towards acquiring the skills necessary to solve the crime during the Chemistry 11 and English 11 courses.   They will practice fingerprinting techniques, blood analysis, code breaking, forensic analysis, and the scientific method within the framework of the Chemistry 11 curriculum. In English, the focus is on the genre of crime stories. Students will identify and create elements like suspense, irony and surprise that they will incorporate into their writing and final CSI: Vanier Episode.
      Smaller cross-curricular projects and guest speakers throughout the semester will highlight the connections between Chemistry and English and further develop their ability to communicate and work collaboratively.
