This resource provides an interactive activity about public history through the lens of the Titanic disaster. It includes vocabulary checks, a mock trial where students must defend a specific interpretation of the Titanic's sinking (heroism vs. chaos), and opportunities for group collaboration. Participants assume the role of public historians, utilizing evidence from the Carpathia logs to support their claims. The activities encourage critical thinking, reflection on the roles of public historians versus academic researchers, and culminate in a creative exercise to design a museum exhibit caption, emphasizing the relevance of historical narratives to the public.
