Part III – What Do You Tell the Media?
As you leave the scene, local reporter Harry Harrison of the Itasca Daily Newspaper approaches you. While walking the bike trail back to your vehicle he says he wants to interview your team about the bones. The parents of the three brothers are calling the sheriff hourly to get more information about the skeletal remains; they want to confirm the identifications and plan the memorial service.
Write answers to the following questions in your notebook:
- 1. What do you do about the newspaper reporter?
- 2. What do you do about the family?
Now share your answers with members of your group and tell me:
- 3. Did you get the same answers as other group members? Why or why not?
After discussing this as a whole class, go to Part IV.
