What Was the Titanic?

pick

This NF novel explains everything there is to know about the Titanic, the disaster, and the discovery of the sunken ship. Written by Stephanie Sabol and illustrated by Gregory Copeland, this book is part of the What Was? Series. In the classroom, I would teach this book either in a LC or have students read the book independently (IR). This book is a great introduction to teaching about the Titanic in social studies classrooms. #ucflae3414su19

MeganKlein EL strategy 42 (have students use timelines to arrange and sequence facts and info.) and UDL strategy 1.1 (customize the display of info. can really help students who are having some difficulty organizing all of the key details and facts about the Titanic. This book does contain a lot of information, so using these strategies can help break down all of that info. The lesson plan provided is from Scholastic. 5y

MeganKlein It is not directly linked to this particular book, but the lesson plan can be used to teach about the Titanic. Students can retell the story of the Titanic by writing a front-page news article about the disaster. https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/unit-plans/teaching-content/extra-extra-tita... Overall, this book was a fascinating read and I even learned a lot of new info about the Titanic that I didn‘t know before! 5y

Macker11 I think it‘s so amazing how they make these nonfiction picture books! Kids definitely enjoy the story, and they are learning without even knowing it! 5y

What Was the Titanic by Stephanie Sabol is a NF and would be a great LC. This book tells the story of the Titanic and how it sunk. It also provides photos of the ship, diagrams, and a timeline of the sinking of ship. This book is great for any classroom library as it goes into great detail and depth about the Titanic. This book is also really engaging due to having numerous of visuals, vocabulary, and information on important people.

JayaJ UDL 1.1, offer ways of customizing the display of information, and EL 29, offer a variety of reference materials at the students instructional level for independent use will work well with this book. The link is to an activity where students write a new report on the sinking of the Titanic https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/unit-plans/teaching-content/extra-extra-tita... #UCFLAE3414SuB18 6y
