This resource guides students in planning a journalistic report about the sinking of the Titanic. It emphasizes skills like identifying important facts, organizing information, and drafting a compelling news story. The lesson begins with a quick brain dump activity to recall existing knowledge about the Titanic, followed by structured phases to gather essential details—WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, and WHY. Students are prompted to create a captivating headline and lead sentence that encapsulates the tragic event. The resource includes a reporter's word bank for terminology related to the Titanic's disaster, as well as drafting templates to help students formulate their opening statements. Lastly, an exit ticket activity encourages students to identify the most critical fact for their report and articulate its significance.
