    Sophie wrote a new post, Filling in the gaps: Josh Powell's motive 7 months, 2 weeks ago

    To fill in the gaps of the tragic Powell murders we must look at Josh Powell’s motive. We see in this latest article that Josh wants sole custody of his kids, Charlie and Braden. We can assume that Susan Powell w

      Sophie,
      Super interesting stuff! I like how you are not just describing the events that went down, but also making informed inferences based off of that information. You lead the reader down a logical path that not only provides evidence for your reasoning but pushes your reader to come to the same conclusion. Well done! It might be interesting to give more details of what a psychosexual evaluation includes and if you could get to the records of his exact results. Here is a link to what is typically done in the test: https://www.csom.org/pubs/cap/2/2_4.htm . Best of luck with your essay.

      This was a well written piece of writing ,I appreciated how you discussed different forms that could have possibly happened. It was easy to follow as well as a logical evaluation of the events that had occurred. I think it would help you if you added a little more detail regarding some of the hints that lead Josh to be the key suspect in the investigation. I think watching this Investigation would help with more details and information regarding to the murder of Josh Powell’s murder . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5cQ-ZOaFj0

      Sophie, this is a compelling review of Josh Powell’s psychopathic tendencies. I find it especially interesting that you mentioned his nature as a child. Criminals often display certain signs during their formative years, such as threatening behavior, cruelty to animals, and bed-wetting. I also find it fascinating to hear about the questionable ethics of authority figures as they dealt with the Powell family case. I would love to hear even more of your thoughts on this case!

      This is a really interesting topic. I remember hearing about all this go down on the news and every time there was a development, I would feel so heart broken. I agree that the police acted too slow. I think they should’ve intervened as soon as people started noticing things were a little weird. Do you think that what happened with this family will change the way police act on these issues? Do you think they’ll keep making these mistakes? https://academicworks.cuny.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1075&context=cl_pubs

      Sophie, I can’t wait to keep up with your analysis on the Powell case! This slightly reminds me of either true crime documentaries (like the “Ted Bundy Tapes” on Netflix) or podcasts (like “Crime Junkie”). It was a super interesting topic to choose and I feel like I could understand the case more. Thank you!

About us

This is a youth-powered publishing platform that was started in 2003 by a group of teachers from local sites of the National Writing Project.

We merged several earlier blogging projects. We have found that there are many advantages to bringing students together in one site that lives beyond any particular class. It’s easier for individual students to read and write about their own passions, to connect with other students, comment on each other’s work, and create multimedia posts for each other. Further, it’s been exciting for us to pool our knowledge about curriculum, connected learning, and digital literacies.

There are over 8,000 posts and over 13,000 comments by young people on the site on topics as diverse as the American Dream, Shakespeare, and sports as well as original poems and stories.

Youth Voices is a platform for youth to write about their interests, both in school and outside of school: what they are reading, what their hobbies or future careers might be, what they enjoy in their spare time. Like all of us, students follow our national leadership and form opinions. They are also welcome to write about those topics as well.

Youth Voices is fully non-partisan and welcomes youth of all types, from all regions, and with all viewpoints. Educators support youth in writing and thoughtfully responding to each other through the use of commenting guides, using tags to show common interests, playlists to support self-guided inquiry; opinions expressed by writers are their own.

If being part of such a community makes sense to you, we invite you to join us. We welcome all youth and any teacher interested in having students publish online and participate in the give and take of a social network like Youth Voices.
