Description

This is an online "scavenger hunt" activity which will allow students to investigate the Titanic's history, wreckage, and exploration. During the course of this activity, the students will visit three websites. One of the sites allows students to search for passengers who may share the students' last names!

When giving this assignment, I do not give a "requirement" for the length of an answer because I feel that it puts a limit on the amount that a student will write. I tell the students to use complete sentences and provide enough information to thoroughly answer each question.
