The Titanic disaster continues to fascinate people around the world. Was it as really as amazing as people said? How did it not see the iceberg? Why did so many people die? In this class, we will learn about the Titanic using the book by Stephanie Sabol, "What Was the Titanic?" This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.). Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course. This class is presented in an asynchronous format. If you are taking this class through the Class Subscriptions, there will be no communication between learner and myself. If you are taking this class through the Self-Paced format, you will have 1 year to complete the lessons. If you choose to submit homework or communicate (questions on the classroom page), I will respond within 24 hours (excluding Sundays).
