TITANIC HOMEWORK- Friday, April 5, 2013.

Your first post is due on or before Tuesday, April 9. In your OWN words, provide information on YOUR passenger or crew member. Consider including: Where was this person from? How old were they? What was their background? Why was this person on the Titanic? What happened to them during the sinking? If this person survived, what was their life like after the tragedy?
