From Joan's Rome

Hi Mike,

What a FUN time I had the other day in your classroom! I enjoyed every minute and every question and power point presentation! Kudos to all of you!

I will do a blog about that morning when I get back to Rome and will post photos. I am wondering if you could send me some photos of the power point presentations that I could put on my blog....and maybe even of the ones we did not have time to do. My readers will LOVE this! 

Again, thanks a million for hosting me....tell your class I said CIAO and am in awe of their talent and intelligence and technical skill! Keep up the good work.

Tell them I got my PhD ....if they know what that is!.....from my Dad.....Passion...Hard work.....Dreams!

Blessings,
Joan

This week students will complete the historical fiction novel I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic. This will take us a couple weeks as we do a little research together on the Titanic simultaneously with the novel. We will watch some short 1-2 minute scenes from the Titanic movie to get a better understanding of this historical time; what people wore, how the maiden voyage began and the excitement surrounding it all.  We will also watch clips of Robert Ballard, the scientist who discovered the Titanic on the ocean floor.
Throughout the novel, students will identify with a passenger on the Titanic's journey.  Students will receive a "ticket" on the White Star Line with their name, age, which class they traveled and where they are from.  We will use this information to accumulate information for a narrative biography they will write about that person.
