Current Events Costa Concordia

Part 1: Here is the Getting Inside the Picture assignment given in class for the current events assignment, "The Sinking of the Costa Concordia". You can do this question on kidblog.org/missiontomakeadifference/ if you prefere.

Look at the picture below and write 2 sentences to respond to the questions that relate to the senses (see your handout...)

Senses - What might you hear, smell, taste or touch? What colours, textures, sounds, movements do you experience?

Images - What details in the photograph create vivid pictures in your mind?

Feelings - What do you feel when you look at this image? What might the people in the photgraph be feeling?

Words - What powerful words describe the scene? What might you think, wonder, say if you were there?



Part 2... Go to kidblog.org and complete the "Beyond the Lines" assignment...
Writing From Perspective... As a Costa Concordiea passerger in a lifeboat heading to Giglio, post a tweet to your Twitter account describing what you have just gone through.... A tweet is less than 140 characters... provides a clear snapshot of the event, and is interesting and attention grabbing....
