What a good idea to write a radio broadcast showing the confusion of the situation after the Titanic had sunk. I watched the movie and there must be a fair bit of confusion.

Zac,

What a great job you did! I actually got to meet Robert Ballard one time. He spoke at Mary Washington and I went to see him. I was fascinated by what he showed us. He used robots to find stuff under water. He also said he found that there is life far under water even where there is no light!

How did doing the reports help you to understand the material better? I can tell from your project that you really got it!

What clear speaking voices you have. It was just like listening to the radio. I wonder what would happen if we had a disaster like the Titanic now. Would we hear about it on the radio, see it on TV or watch it on youtube?

Zac, I thought that breaking your radio broadcast into sections was a brilliant idea. So often you see students with just one report about the facts, etc. I really liked the real news effect you brought. We don't always know what is happening when a crisis occurs. Reporters, like you, have to sort out the information and bring listeners up to date with the facts.

Great job! I'm going to share this idea with students & teachers at my school.
