Philip lied when he said he was being suspended because of Miss Narwin; he made the whole suspension look like it was Miss Narwin's fault. ... Philip lied to the reporter about singing to be patriotic. He made a big deal, but he was really humming to stand up to Miss Narwin.
This could make a good strategy because it gives expository details and you could read through the newspapers and magazines which would technically called research :) hope this helps!
