Astudent claims that the school cafeteria regularly serves leftovers to students instead of making new food each day. your editor assigns you to investigate. write out a plan for finding information. in your plan, include the sources you will use, how you will gather information, and what obstacles you might run into as you research your story.

i need to call the principal at high school to ask questions and/or set up a meeting.

obstacle: principal refuses to answer my questions and/or meet with me.

i need to interview the student that made the accusations about the cafeteria food.

notes from student interview:

the chips used for nacho day are always stale

found pieces of plastic in the mashed potatoes

french fries are always cold and taste old

milk cartons are sometimes spoiled

resources:

interview with a student

asking questions

making several phone calls

Sources:

Primary sources:

1.  Interview lunch workers

2.Audio or video evidence from security cameras if possible

3.If there aren’t any security cameras ask to install them or hide a camera

4.Original research if it’s possible to attain

Secondary sources:

1.Interview the majority of the students

2.Collect school newspapers on the food

3.Journal articles if available

4.A documentary on whether school lunches are safe

How I would gather information from the sources:

1.Interview questions:

Lunch workers:

a.Why are the students complaining?

b.What do you use in your food?

c.How does your opinion on the food differ in comparison to the students?

d.How many students have gotten sick after eating your food? Why?

2.Students:

a.Why are you complaining about the food?

b.How many students have fallen ill due to the food? Why?

c.What is your description on the food?

d.What are your thoughts on the lunch workers?

3.Read, review, and compare the school and other newspapers on the food from this school.

4.Watch the security footage and the documentary if it was possible

Some obstacles to come across:

1.The lunch workers are less likely to confess in most cases

2.The students could be lying

3.Not enough evidence found

I hope it was helpful!
