The most obvious research tools used by the reporter were interviews and documents. They not only interviewed the students but the principal and other teachers technically involved as well. Many of these accounts helped reveal to the reader that the teacher did not try to force creationism. The article includes bits of the powerpoint where creationism is evident. This helps the audience understand why a huge debate was caused and shows that even though the teacher was falsely accused, creationism was indeed a part of the power point. The reporter used research tools to reveal the truth of the whole situation and further carry out the true problem, which is the debate over creationism vs evolution, and not the teacher.
Well written. I think the use of open records request to get email messages about the connection between the teacher and the district is significant. 99.
