Sarah, I've worked a little bit on the KWL chart. Jeanine

Jeanine, To be honest, when I completed the KWL chart then compared my thoughts to yours, they were almost exactly the same. Great minds think alike! I'll look up some information to add to the "What I Learned" column.

Here are some thoughts on the NARA worksheets. ~Sarah

Jeanine, For some reason, I couldn't get the updated KWL chart to upload. The information I found for "What I Learned" is below. I used information from two websites. Check it out; if it looks okay to you, then just copy and paste it into your document, upload the completed version, and write FINAL next to it. ~Sarah

Information: one dead; many injured; head-on collision between two trains; the state fair train was headed from Springfield to Gilman Source: http://www3.gendisasters.com/illinois/9711/farmer-city-il-head-on-train-collision-oct-1909

Information: the collision occurred as the trains rounded a sharp curve; the local train was traveling between Chicago and Clinton; the large crowd probably consists of train passengers who were stranded by the wreck Source: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/panoramic_photo/pnwrek.html

Sarah, I will work on adding this first thing in the morning. Looks great! Thanks! Jeanine

Sarah, I think I am just a big nerd because I loved reading those articles you found about the train wreck! Anyway, here is our final copy of the Venn Diagram. Jeanine

Also we have almost the exact same observations from the pictures! I will add my thoughts a little later on today...running to a ballgame right now be back shortly! Jeanine

Sarah, I have added some of my info to the first worksheet. We had a lot of the same thoughts again :) FINAL

I had the same problem you did about not being able to add info to the second worksheet so here are my thoughts: Section B. People more men than women pictured lots of onlookers

Objects: two wrecked train engines train cars on both sides of the accident crane a lot of wreckage

Activities: some men are working to clear up the wreckage some people are watching some people are posing for pictures

Step 2 Inference 1. Two trains collided in a head on collision 2. Men are working to clear up debris and wreckage. 3. The injured have already been taken care of.

Step 3 Questions 1. What caused the wreck? 2. How would the passengers get to their destination? 3. How many train wrecks happened in Farmer City, IL during this time era?

Where could you find answers to them? The American Memory website Google train accidents Farmer City, IL 1909 Newspaper archives from Farmer City, IL

Jeanine, I added your comments and here's the final product for the 2nd photo analysis WS. FINAL
