 * MY LEARNING TARGETS**

My next step in writing is to continue making links within sentences and across paragraphs. Laura you have done this really well e.g. "While the evidence is been examined, the detective start taking statements from the suspects." this sentence directly links to the paragraph above. You have also used a variety of simple, compound and complex sentence structures. Laura by continuing to write in this pattern you are writing easily at a Level 4. Well done.

How to solve a crime?

When a crime is committed police, Forensic scientist and detectives work together to solve it. The process is quite long but it works. The police collect the evidence, forensic scientist examine the evidence and the detectives take statements and interview suspects.

When a crime has happened the scene of the crime officers are the first to arrive. The scene of the crime officers (SOC) are police that have had special training for finding and collecting evidence at a crime scene. To begin with, the SOC officers have to walk through and examine the scene for evidence and what could of happened. They have to do this very carefully to not disturb anything, so they have to put their hands in their pockets. While the officers are walking around they have to figure out what might of happened, by seeing if their is any objects out of place, broken, missing or new. Then they have to dust for finger prints. They do this by using special powder and dusting over the surface. They will use black or white powder depending on the surface. When a fingerprint has been spotted they use a clean, clear plastic sheet and press it down over the print, then place it on a piece of paper.

Afterwards SOC officers will question the house owner, family or victum of the crime. Then they will send the evidence they have collected to the lab for the forensic scientist to examine. Forensic scientist find information that help illuminate suspects in a crime scene. At the lab the forensic scientists will examine the evidence and identify who it belongs to. With the fingerprints they have to see if it’s a whorl, arch or loop. Next the scientist will see who the fingerprint belongs to by taking fingerprints of all the suspects and see if there is a match. If there is any hair they will put it under a microscope and identify who’s it is. They do the same will any other DNA found.

While the evidence is been examined, the detective start taking statements from the suspects. The suspects will be asked questions about the crime and if they have a alibi of where they were that day or night. Then the detectives then have to confirm the suspects alibis. To question and collect alibis people, the detectives will take them into a small room with a video camera and ask them questions about where they were, what they were wearing and anything to do with the crime. The detectives have to be careful not to give any information about what they know.

When the detectives have got all of the answers to their question and alibis from suspects, the detective, police and forensic scientists start to put the crime together. They work together to find out if the suspects alibis match the evidence found and they have answered the questions truthfully. When they have a clear idea of who committed the crime, the detectives take them back into a room to question them and to see if they will come clean of what they did. Afterwards they will have to go to court and the judge will jury will decide if they are guilty on not then the judge will give them a punishment.

After a long procedure of collecting and examining evidence and interviewing and questioning suspects and witnesses the crime will be solved and the perpetrator will be caught.

Why every one should do their work of computers?

Most people in schools do their work on paper or in book but it will be less hassle to do it on computers like when you have to write a huge story and after time your hands get tired and then you just have to type it into a computer any to print. Also it will be a good idea when doing research on a topic.

When writing in your book it can become a mess when you make a mistake but on a computer you can just delete it. Also when writing stories your hands don’t get as tired as when writing with a pen in a book.

If you are doing a piece of writing that needs to be researched it is easier to do it on the laptop to take key words and phrases. And you wont have to write out the writing twice because you will be writing on the laptop rather than paper.

Some schools have already thought of this good idea and have a few classes with computers. So be next to follow the idea.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">__Explanation__

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Why we should have a class pet?

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Class pets are a very good idea in a class. One reason is that the students in the class can <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">learn life skills about looking after someone other than yourself. Also the class as a reward <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">could take the pet home for the night as a treat from the teacher.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">With having a pet like a mouse, rabbit or another small animal in the class students are <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">learning to take care of someone other than them selfs. They will learn how to feed, play <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">and care for a pet as a result of them taking more care for their pet at home.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">With a pet in the class room the students will come to enjoy having a animal and as a <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">reward they will be able to take it home, therefore the kids in the class will try to be extra <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">good so that they will have the treat of taking the pet home.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">So I believe that every class should have a class pet for learning life skills and to care for <span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">something.
