My paper is finally handed in! Almost done with the year. All that’s left is the final creative product and the presentation. For my creative piece, I am going to write a short detective story of my own. I plan on following the styles of various authors that I have done some research on as I attempt to develop a strong storyboard in which my fictional detective is thrown in the middle and must investigate the crime.
Details are going to be a very important part of the story, so I will look to successful short detective fiction pieces for some guidance. As for the visual presentation… I might start it off by showing the class a clip of a movie/show, or I actually found an interactive crime scene in which the class might get involved. I will then share some of the background information I have found on all the parts of detective fiction: analysis of detectives, importance of setting, truthfulness of forensic details…etc. Then I will finish it off with a group assignment of some sort maybe on the clip I showed or finish up the interactive crime scene. Doesn’t seem like it’ll be that tough to do, I just got to buckle down and get to work!
