- CER:
- Claim, Evidence, Reasoning — make a claim, back it with evidence, explain your reasoning.
- SOP:
- Standard Operating Procedure — the exact steps to follow (especially in a lab).
- Tracker:
- Your PLTW progress log where you record completed evidence.
- myPLTW:
- The PLTW course site where you do the online activities — you open it through Schoology.

💡 Big idea: Submitting a complete investigation packet closes the case with integrity: every claim is traceable to evidence, every limitation is acknowledged.
- 0:00Project the tracker checklist; walk through each required item for the full investigation
- 0:10Work time: finalize and upload the CER report; incorporate any peer feedback from Thursday
- 0:30Verify the evidence board photo is uploaded and the tentative claim matches the final report claim
- 0:45Check that all four streams and at least two limitations appear in the CER
- 0:58Self-assessment form: check each success criterion; flag any item not fully met
- 1:08Closing reflection: one-sentence answer to the course-long question: how do we know what we know about how someone died?
- • This is the final submission of the course. Everything you have built since week one comes together here: the scene packet, the lab data, the histology analysis, and now the full investigative report.
- • Before you upload anything, do a final check: does your CER cite all four streams? Is your claim stated clearly in the first sentence? Are your limitations honest and specific?
- • Your evidence board is already submitted from Wednesday. Today you submit the written report, which is the argument the board was building toward.
- • Self-assess against every success criterion. If you cannot check one off, you have this class period to address it. After today, the case is closed.
- 1Review the tracker checklist for open-investigation deliverables.
- 2Upload your team evidence board.
- 3Attach your full investigative CER report.
- 4Confirm all four evidence streams and limitations are addressed.
- 5Self-assess against success criteria and flag gaps.
- • I can submit a complete investigation report packet.
- • I can verify all evidence streams are addressed.
- • A complete investigation packet tells the full story from evidence collection through conclusion; any missing link weakens the whole argument.
- • Four evidence streams must all appear in both the evidence board and the CER report; if one stream is missing from either, the submission is incomplete.
- • Self-assessment at the end of a major project is a professional habit: it surfaces gaps before a reviewer or examiner does.
