Titanic passenger profiles and tickets lesson

This is how I 'launch my Titanic theme of work. The blank tickets have a space so you can write their passenger’s names on. The passenger profiles link to someone who was actually on the Titanic when it sank. They include information about the passengers such as how much their ticket cost, what class they traveled in and whether or not they survived the tragedy.

The smart board takes you step by step through the lesson. Children will have their tickets with their passenger names on, they will look for the corresponding passenger profiles (I like to dot them around the room) and then will learn about their person. Then, they will sketch their person using the photo on the passenger profiles and share them as a class. This is a lovely lesson to launch a topic or a nice one off art lesson to engage the children in portrait sketching.
