You are an investigative reporter for the Canadian Chronicle. Chief Devereux has sent out previous reporters to acquire information about each of the major battles of World War I, but each one has fallen privy to the enemy and are now missing!! With the rest of the team back at the newspaper office you are our only hope of covering the battles before the copy goes to print and the newspapers hit the stands. We are counting on you!!!
Your Assignment:
To complete the Summary Chart for each battle and report back to Chief Devereux when you are finished.
Resources:
Luckily your boss, Chief Devereux, did not send you on a complete wild goose chase!! She has provided you with a list of contacts to check out. These contacts can be very beneficial as they may lead you to the information you seek (if you dig deep enough!).
One more thing...
Remember a good investigative reporter is inquisitive, uses critical thinking skills, and has developed research skills to retrieve the information required. Now get started!!
