Instruct them to highlight or underline where the answers came from. This will help later in the writing assignment. There is nothing worse than being shut out of a major event due to a sellout. What some people do is go to scalpers, who somehow have tickets and charge wildly inflated prices. The WPIX news story and the Newsday article detail what many have always suspected.
Scalpers have people on the inside.
In this case, the inside of the Mets and Yankee ticket offices. It is not often that a scalping scheme is uncovered and detailed so clearly. The writing assignment today is to explain how these scalpers operated, your feelings about it and the whole concept of ticket scalping.

It seeks to make the reader understand exactly what has occurred by offering specific details, which take the reader step by step through a story.
