Coroner Experience Response

Create a complete (this means well thought out, executed, and edited) response to each of the questions below. A single word or sentence will not suffice in answering the questions.I expect your responses to be collegiate level in your writing and analysis.

#1 Prior to going to the Coroner's Office what thoughts or preconceived ideas did you have about the role of the coroner, what happens when a dead body is discovered, and how they work with law enforcement. Where did these ideas come from? (i.e. Law and Order, CSI, Hollywood films, etc.)


#2 Now that you have had tour and the opportunity to learn first hand about the role of the Coroner and her office what have you learned? How does your knew knowledge compare to what you thought before our trip? If you were at the dinner table tonight for family dinner what would you tell your family when asked about your experience today?

#3 What are lasting impressions that you will take with you from today's experience? If you were in charge of planning future trips for the Academy is this one that you would continue? Why or why not and explain.

What do you want to know?

Ok class, your blog assignment today is to write about the things you want to learn about concerning the law, lawyers, social services (victim's advocates, child and protective services), politics, law enforcement, civil rights movements and figures, etc. The more detailed you are the better Mrs. Coy and I can be in incorporating these requests into our future lessons.
