My students have a love for true crime: stories, shows, podcasts - they love it all! In fact, I have never seen them more engaged than when we are dissecting a story within the true crime genre. Following a reading and study of Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City, my students will receive the benefits of the cross-curricular instructional study of the history and psychology of serial killers; thus, expanding their knowledge, not only within our 11th grade English class but also within the Forensics class in which most are enrolled. These books will help my students dive deeper into the genre of true crime, and it will allow them to expand their research skills as they study and report on various serial killers throughout history. With the world of technology at our fingertips, it is often difficult for students to utilize print sources when engaging in a research project. I always encourage my students to use print materials when investigating, and the encyclopedias will help with this endeavor. All these resources will ultimately help my students become better researchers and prepare them for continuing education outside of high school.
