Research project<br />

Choose another well-known captured person, animal or thing from the list below, or find one of your<br />

own. Use these tips to help you write a journal about it.<br />

• May 1998, Brendan Abbott, Australia’s most wanted criminal, is captured in Darwin, Australia.<br />

Abbott was wanted for the robberies of several banks.<br />

• November 2001, John Walker-Lindh is captured by US forces in Afghanistan. Lindh is later<br />

charged with fighting against the coalition allies, the Northern Alliance.<br />

• April 1996, Unabomber Ted Kaczynski is captured inside his cabin in Lincoln, USA. Kaczynski is later<br />

charged with 16 bombing incidents.<br />

• May 1934, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are captured and killed by a posse outside Sailes, USA.<br />

Police believed Bonnie and Clyde killed 13 people.<br />

Use a newspaper or magazine article, books or the Internet to research the event. Use two or more<br />

sources, such as three different websites, including a newspaper site.<br />

How to use newspapers and magazines …<br />

• Sources the author used are often listed at the end of the<br />

article. Find the books or articles to learn more details.<br />

Remember to list all of your sources.<br />

• Take notes about the information, but remember to use<br />

your own words when writing about it. If you use a direct<br />

quote, use quotation marks and state the reference,<br />

including the title, the article and page number where<br />

you found it.<br />

How to look for a book on the subject …<br />

• Using your library’s catalogue, do a title search or a<br />

subject search. Type the keyword ‘captured’ and the<br />

place, date, person’s name involved in the event.<br />

• If a book is shelved by author, it is a fictional or<br />

biographical book. Most nonfiction books are shelved by<br />

number using the Dewey decimal system. Use nonfiction<br />

or biographical books only.<br />

How to find information on<br />

the Internet …<br />

• Photographs, maps,<br />

diagrams, charts and<br />

displays always make<br />

research projects more<br />

interesting. Use these visual<br />

aids to print and use with<br />

your report.<br />

• Not everything on the<br />

Internet is correct! Be sure<br />

to find the information on<br />

a site that ends with .edu,<br />

.org or .gov. Or find the<br />

same information in three<br />

separate places. Maybe<br />

your school knows of some<br />

websites that may be of<br />

use. Ask your teacher or<br />

librarian for help.<br />
