Research project<br />
Choose another kidnapping case from the list below, or find one of your own. Use these tips to help<br />
you write a journal about it.<br />
• June 2005, Douglas Wood, 63 years old, is kidnapped and held hostage in Baghdad, Iraq.<br />
• February 2004, Carlie Brucia, 11 years old, is kidnapped and murdered in Sarasota, USA.<br />
• October 2002, Imari Brooks, five years old, is taken from her home by James Bennett and Daryl<br />
Davis. She was found in a Euclid, USA, apartment building thanks to the Amber Alert program.<br />
• November 2002, Ryan Schmitt, seven years old, is found unharmed when a man who allegedly<br />
kidnapped him overnight heard his name broadcast on a statewide alert system and turned himself<br />
into police at Stockton, USA.<br />
• January 1996, Amber Hagerman, nine years old, is kidnapped and brutally murdered in Arlington,<br />
USA.<br />
Use newspapers, documentary films or TV shows, or the Internet to research the kidnapping. Use<br />
two or more sources, such as three different websites, including a newspaper site.<br />
How to use the library to find information …<br />
• Use the reference section of the library to find current<br />
newspapers. Past newspapers are sometimes filed in<br />
the reference section.<br />
• Take notes about the information, but remember to use<br />
your own words when writing. If you use a direct quote,<br />
use quotation marks and state the reference, including<br />
the article, the date and the page number where you<br />
found it.<br />
How to use a documentary film or TV show for<br />
information ...<br />
• First make sure the film or TV show is a documentary<br />
and not historical fiction or ‘based on a true story’. Actual<br />
facts and fiction are combined in historical fiction.<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 />
Viewing Sample<br />
• Take notes as you watch the film or TV show. Watch it<br />
more than once. You will probably hear and understand<br />
more information the second or third time you watch it.<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 />
