During Reading:
Making connections -
Text to Self: In Chapter 6 it says that "many passengers came on deck without life jackets." This reminds me that my mom and dad always make me wear a life jacket when I ride on the jet ski or the pontoon boat.
Text to World: Reading the facts about the Titanic remind me of the Italian cruise ship that just sank.
Text to Text: The research guide isn't the same as Tonight on the Titanic because Jack and Annie knew the Titanic was going to sink. The people on the real Titanic didn't know they were going to sink.
Important Information -
Titanic means huge and powerful.
In 1912, $400 was worth more than $5000 in today's money.
When the passengers were underway, none of the 3 classes of people were allowed to mix with each other.
Questions I Have -
How big was the ice berg?
Did the Titanic have a hole in the hull?
I know there were kids on the Titanic. Were there any 7 year old boys?
How many kids were saved from the ship?
After Reading
Summary of the Book -
This book is about a ship full of more than 2500 people, some were vacationing and some were looking for a better life free from England. The ship hit a giant iceberg. There weren't enough life boats to save all the people. The ship sunk and only 705 were saved.
Interesting Facts -
Another ship called the Carpathia saved some of the passengers.
There was a library and a swimming pool on the ocean liner.
There were 100 kids on board.
The Titanic was as long as 4 football fields. It was the longest ship in the world. Some people thought it was unsinkable, but they were wrong.
