The Titanic

In Reading, we have been combining our background knowledge (BK) with text clues (TC) to infer meaning.  

BK + TC = Inference

To help us infer the meaning of unfamiliar words, we read about the Titanic disaster.  This is such an interesting and intriguing topic, and we all want to know more!  

Click on "The Titanic" title above to view a slideshow of artifacts, photographs, and more information about the Titanic.  It's a special exhibit from Encyclopedia Britannica.  Just click on "next" in the upper right-hand corner of your screen to view the next picture of the slideshow.
