  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Shadow of the Titanic the Extraordinary Stories of Those Who Survived by Andrew Wilson 100 Unsinkable Facts About the Titanic
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Shadow of the Titanic The Extraordinary Stories of Those Who Survived by Andrew Wilson 100 unsinkable facts about the Titanic. Her last signal rocket flared out a century ago. And the desperate cries from her decks became still a long time past. R.M.S. Titanic, perhaps the most famous ship that ever sailed, hit an iceberg, and the next morning — April 15, 1912 — sank beneath the North Atlantic waves. She took 1,517 women, men and children to the bottom of the ocean with her, including some of the most famous names of her time. Posted! A link has been posted to your Facebook feed. Interested in this topic? You may also want to view these photo galleries: But Titanic's voyage continues - in movies, books, TV shows and the public's fascination. Part historic chronicle, part human drama, part paranormal thriller, the tale of the doomed ship still has us in its hooks. Today her story shifts like starlight sparkling on sea ice. Accounts and numbers differ, research changes "myth" into "fact," and vice versa. But her saga won't end. So to mark the 100th anniversary of her loss, we give you 100 remembrances of the Titanic. 'The ship of dreams' 1. At the time of her launch, the Royal Mail Steamer Titanic was the largest man-made moving object on Earth. 2. The Titanic cost $7.5 million to build. 3. The White Star Line's Titanic and her sister ship Olympic were designed to compete with the famous Cunard liners Lusitania and Mauretania.

  • Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks
    common core state STANDARDs FOR english Language arts & Literacy in History/social studies, science, and technical subjects appendix B: text exemplars and sample Performance tasks Common Core State StandardS for engliSh language artS & literaCy in hiStory/SoCial StudieS, SCienCe, and teChniCal SubjeCtS exemplars of reading text complexity, Quality, and range & sample Performance tasks related to core standards Selecting Text Exemplars The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that stu- dents should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: • Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on quali- tative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.
