Titanic Facts

In our language arts class, we read a story about the discovery of the Titanic wreckage by Robert Ballard. Because we found the sinking of the Titanic such a fascinating story, each of us designed a fact poster to share with other students in our school. Our charge included using both internet and print sources to find ten interesting facts to share about the ship or the disaster, drawing an illustration related to the ship, and organizing the facts and the illustration in poster format to share with others. Here are just some of the interesting facts that WOWed us!
