1.) The date and time of departure. Remember, it made a few stops. Did you get picked up at: -Southampton, UK April 10, 1912 @ 9:30 A.M.  -Cherbourg, France April 10, 1912 @ 6:30 P.M.  -Queenstown, Ireland April 11, 1912 @ 11:30 A.M.
 * //Hello 4th grade!! (and anyone else who may be viewing this) Your job is to make a ticket or boarding pass for the Titanic. It should be made in Microsoft Power Point or Kidspiration 3. Draw a nice looking rectangle, square, or circle ticket; that part is up to you. It should be about half the size of the sheet of paper, or maybe smaller. After all, when was the last time you saw a ticket to something that was the size of an entire sheet of paper? Also remember, you were hired for this job, so you get to make the tough decisions!//**
 * //You must have://**

2.) The place where the trip will end (actually, where it was SUPPOSED to end.): Your answer must be: NEW YORK CITY


 * //3.) You should include what room type you are getting and t//****//he price of the ticket. SEE BELOW...//**

//**__ Price for one-way tickets __**// First Class (parlor suite): $4,350 ($50,000 today) First Class (berth):$150 ($1724 today) Second Class: /$60 ($690 today) Third Class: $14 to $40 ($172 to $460 today)

4.) See below for the border art and the White Star Line emblem. That will likely be the only picture you would use on your ticket. You would NOT use a picture of the Titanic sunken at the bottom of the ocean on your ticket.


 * //5.) Some "selling points" like "This ship is UNSINKABLE."//**


 * //6.) Your name. Work it into the ticket. For example: "This ticket is for ____ to board the Titanic". Where I have the ___, thats where you put your name. You DO NOT type anything like "made by..."//**

-What colors would you use? -How big would you make the ticket? -What type of font is best to use? -What will the price be? (must be historically accurate) -What type of cabin are you making the ticket for? -What catch phrase will you use to reassure the people that they are safe and they will have a good trip? (like "step on board the unsinkable Titanic- world's greatest ship!") -Do you think you should put a picture of the Titanic on the ticket? -Do you think you should use the picture below (the White Star Line symbol), because they owned the Titanic?
 * //THINK ABOUT THIS BEFORE YOU START...//**

Be creative. Use fancy corner art. Remember you are going back in time 100 years, so design the ticket accordingly. This will take 2-3 weeks so please dont rush and do a sloppy job- remember somebody is paying you big bucks to do this right, although that person is not Mr. McGee. You will have to cut it out after you print, so if you didnt put your name on the front, you MUST use a pencil and write it clearly on the back, otherwise we wont know who it belongs to.

It is sooooo important that you save this correctly. it to your desktop, drag it to your folder, then delete it from your desktop by dragging it into the trash. Dont worry, its still safe in your folder.


 * //Your facts should be found online or found in your Reading book. Do not simply make up the information like the date, where its leaving from, etc. Some things you may have to make up, like the cost of the ticket. This should be a fun activity. Decorate the ticket as you would like, but no more than 2 pictures. Also, don't use pictures taken from the bottom of the ocean after the ship sunk, and don't use museum artifact pictures of things that were recovered from the sunken vessel.//**
