Max: I don't believe in unwanted questions. Questions are good <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Actually, as simple as the scenario seemed to me, it was still almost too complicated. I split the cadets up into teams of two and handed each team a copy of the scenario. (It didn't help that my car battery died and I had to get a jumpstart and arrived twenty minutes late.) Basically I wanted them to ask questions - one pair asked was it his real family or was it foster or step-parents? They were wondering whether it was just a missing kid, or a possible abduction. That was a very good question.

I figure if they ask a lot of questions it means they're interested.

It's pretty late right now, I have to go to bed. But I'll post a summary in a couple of days.

Thanks very much for the feedback. We'll be doing more along these lines in the future - nice to know I have friends here I can ask for advice <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
