Forensics of Lying Webquest

Introduction

WELCOME TO THE FORENSICS OF LYING!!!  Here you will find information you can use to create a presentation on techniques of interrogation and how to recognize if someone is lying.  

Task

You will research effective techniques for interrogation to help with determining if someone is lying.  Each group is responsible for teaching the class a different aspect of interrogation techniques and how to tell if the suspect is lying.  Soon, you will be investigating a crime, so take this information very seriously...it may come in handy very, very soon!

Group 1: Interrogation Techniques

Group 2: Stature/Posture, Repetitiveness, Overcompensating

Group 3: Covering the Mouth/Vulnerable Parts while speaking, Shuffling Feet, Blinking, Pointing

Group 4: Grooming, Verbal/Non-Verbal Disconnect

Group 5: Motives for Lying

After researching, you will then create a presentation for training fellow students on the techniques you research.

Your presentation can be in any digital format (Google Slides, Prezi, PPT, etc.)!  Be CREATIVE!
