In reading we are finishing up our Titanic unit of study. The students have finished reading the story in our reading textbooks and completed a vocabulary quiz. On friday we bagan our Titanic Brochure project!
Students have two options to choose from in creating their Brochure.
Option 1: Create a brochure using accurate information found from the internet, textbook, or other source. In option one the students are to pretend that the Titanic has not yet set sail. Use info about the ship, food, entertainment, etc... to persuade your reader to buy a ticket and take the trip of a lifetime!
Option 2: Create a brochure using accurate information found from the internet, textbook, or other source. In option two students are to pretend that the wreckage of the Titanic is now in a museum. Use info about the ship, wreckage, passengers, etc...to persuade your reader to come and buy a ticket and visit your museum!
This is a creative assignement where the students will be required to use accurate information about the Titanic and organize their Brochures in a non-fiction format using non-fiction text features(headings, captions, pictures, maps, graphs, etc).
Here are some links for some great websites on the Titanic.
