Writing on the Titanic


In class last week we pretended that we were reporters interviewing survivors from the Titanic who arrived into New York on the Carpathia. We wrote newspaper reports on what the survivors told us.


We also wrote biographies on some of the passengers like Joesph LaRoche and Captain Edward Smith.

This week we are learning about Onomatopeias. An onomatopeia is a word that imitates the sound it describes. We wrote our own onomatopeia poems and designed posters for some onomatopeia words.
