The Maple Syrup Heist

Between 2011 and 2012, Richard Vallieres stole over 9 million dollars worth of liquid gold (maple syrup). This is jigsaw type of activity where trainees will be given different background information. They will change groups and share that information. The new group will read the main article together and answer questions. Because each member has different background information, each member will be able to contribute differently to the group.
