RESEARCH TIPS<br />

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 />
