Update for Sept. 28 - Forensic Anthropology

             Today we are starting our Forensic Anthropology Unit. We will be close reading informational articles related to the field of forensic science and exploring author's techniques in these articles. 
Today we will watch a video and do an online simulation of forensic pathology in action.
