Great sites to teach about Titanic
/
It is really amazing how Titanic still captures our imagination 100 years after she sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic in 1912.
I put this down to the fact that Titanic is firstly an amazing tale of man outsmarting themself through technology and industrial might. Then we have a secondary tale of injustice and arrogance when the absolute upper and lower crust of Edwardian society struggle for survival and equity in the middle of the ocean.
Shakespeare himself could not have scripted a better story with so many sub-plots of triumph and tragedy.
As a teacher there are limitless teaching possibilities which arise from Titanic via, history, science, math philosophy and literacy.
