//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**// I regret to inform you that the New York Police Department has reason to believe that “Mr. Democracy” is suspected to have been present in the Revolutionary Era. As I am sure that you know, this is a federal crime in the United States of America. If found guilty, “Mr. Democracy will spend the rest of his life behind bars. While we have the feeling our NYPD guts that Mr. Democracy is guilty, we don’t have the right detective to grab the right clues for us. We need conclusive evidence; using primary sources from the time period of the Revolution, to give us a good enough case to take to court. We have nominated you to be in our “NYPD Detective Competition.” You must find conclusive evidence, using primary sources and show us that you can prove that Mr. Democracy is guilty. You must show us your case using Garage Band. Please make you project very creative and add music to help sway the panel. You must also put your written crime report on a blog for other detectives to see and comment on. If your case is chosen as the best, you will be hired as the NYPD’s newest and highest paid detective. Remember, this is not an assignment to be taken lightly. You are competing with a number of other detectives. Please work diligently to make your product the best. See you at presentation day. Thank you, The New York Police Department ||
