Titanic-+Did+You+Know?

Hello again 4th grade. For this project, you will be looking for lesser-known Titanic facts. Dig deeper than the facts you already know. Look for things that your classmates wont find, and that even Mrs. Peiser and I dont know!

HERE is your doc.

Things to consider: -Building of the Titanic -Iceberg warnings -Survivor stories -Famous people who were on board -Discovery of the Titanic in 1985 -Please do not include facts about the movie! -Anything that makes the reader say "WOW, I never knew that!"

Something else... I want you to answer a question for me on your paper: should the Titanic be left alone on the bottom of the ocean, or should experts be allowed to bring up any artifacts they want to be displayed in a museum? There are arguments for both sides. Please give me your opinion.

You should have about 10-12 interesting facts. The hard part should not be finding 10-12, the hard part is choosing which 10-12 to use, as there are millions of things out there to pick from.

I really do not want you to use more than 1 or 2 facts from the same website. And __**ABSOLUTELY NO COPYING AND PASTING.**__ Why not? Because then you don't get the best understanding of the material, as you aren't rephrasing it or putting it in your own words.

Here are some choices to get you started:
