We seriously love this lesson. It has gone amazing every time we done it. Students get so engaged and have awesome ideas and discussions. You’ll need to start by telling the students about Kristen Gilbert. She is a nurse who works at a veterans hospital. She’s considered to be a highly skillful nurse. Then, her coworkers started noticing that it seemed like a lot of patients were dying when she was working. So they reported her and she was charged with murder. Give the students page 1 only!!! Tell the students to read the portion of the article given and to answer and discuss the questions in their groups. Give them plenty of time to discuss this. After a bit, open it up to a class discussion. Ask students what additional information they would like. They should want to know the total number of deaths at the hospital and how many she was or was not there for. “How convenient,” I say, “I just so happen to have that.” (Source: UCLA) Hand out page 2. Let students work in their groups to analyze the data using any method they want. Make sure you tell the kids “No spoilers” for the later classes.
