Forensics Class

 This is my first year taking forensics and so far i am enjoying the class. Ms. Bartoli is a cool and funny teacher that keeps the class interesting at times. We have been taught the steps needed to process a crime scene and who secures the scene. We learned about different search methods like the strip or line search, the spiral search method, the grid method, quadrant or zone search, elevation zone search and the overlapping zone search. We also was taught how to collect evidence and the different packaging materials used to collect evidence. We was told about an autopsy and how to perform one and why you should perform one and the different levels of one. You can determine the time of death with 3 types of mortis: Livor mortis,the process that the body's blood supply stops moving after the heart stops pumping. Rigor mortis, stiffening of the body after death (usually begins 2 hours after death) and the Algor mortis which is the reduction of the body temperature after death. And what we last learned was the life cycle stages of a blowfly. And that is why i like my Forensics class so far.

Favorite Text

There are alot of wonderful books out there that honestly make a good read. From children books , too adult books they will catch your eye and keep you reading on and on.  Some good books to me are Graphic novels. Graphic novels are fictional stories that are presented in comic strip format and published as a book. Sometimes they tell a single, continous narrative from the first page to the last page; sometimes they are collections of shorter stories or individual comic strips. Many comics and graphic novels emphasize drama, adventure, character development, striking visuals, politics or romance. My favorite graphic novels are the ones about super heroes for example Spider Man, The Avengers, etc. I just love all the action and suspense that are put into these books, it keeps me interested and makes me wanna read more and more. I still too this very day read graphic novels and still enjoy them as much as I did when I was younger.
