RMS Titanic - {April 14/15, 1912}

Lapbook Layout
This unit just felt like we needed to turn the file folder sideways or horizontal to get the full length of the Titanic. So all minibooks were created for a horizontal file folder. Here is one way we arranged the minibooks.

Our "field trip" from Texas to Branson, Missouri to see Titanic
(postcard picture of Chateau on the Lake Hotel in Branson, Missouri)

Now I included this picture because do you think I could see what the sign says?LOL "SORRY NO CAMERAS". Of course, I walk up clicking pictures and the look was priceless on the guide's face as I am sure he thought I was going to be a trouble maker ...
I guess I could have at least looked as we walked up instead of being behind a camera.....he ended up being real nice..
So as you can guess I WISH had some nice pictures from the inside of the Grand Staircase and the iceberg wall and 3rd class cabin.
