Super ladies... will "finalize" now! Couldn't agree more in regards to working with you girls! -Megan

6/27/10 Hi Megan and Jamie-

I think that both of the documents accurately reflect our discussions from throughout the week. I think they're ready to be labeled "final." Thanks for another great week! I enjoy working with both of you. Megan, Everything looks great and you included everything! I think it is ready for the "Final" but see what Tara thinks! We all work so well together!!! --Jamie

Ok, here's the NARA photo analysis & I'm getting ready to upload the KWL... take a look at both & let me know what you think. Once I hear from both of you I'll make changes if need be & then label them Final Drafts as per the 4-A-1 activity directions.

Super... thanks Jamie! I got the Word format of the NARA photo analysis from Chris so I'll combine our info & put our final documents together today so they're ready for tomorrow. Hope you had a good weekend ladies. -Megan

Megan, Here is a link to the newspaper article on the train wreck that I found. It provides answers to all of my KWL questions.---Jamie []

Ladies, here's what I have so far... let me know if you can or can't read them/see the text I added. I had some PDF issues in the last Forum & had to convert/transfer them to Word files so just let me know. If you CAN open & see the text I added note that the text in the KWL might appear to be vertical at the bottom of the chart... has that happen to anyone else? If you click-on the text it throws it up to the top & is easier to read. Also, I included in my pdf's that it appears as though the train crash/accident happened at a bend/curve. Does anyone know if this was the case? The picture appears that way but as Module 4 stated you never know if that's the case b/c of the technique, camera, etc that was used.

6/25/10 Hi Megan, I can see the text, but only if I click on each field. As far as the KWL, it is vertical. However, when I downloaded the two documents, I received a message that stated that I could not save anything that I typed on either document. Therefore, I can't even upload anything because it is all blank. I will post my thoughts here, if you would kindly add to your pdfs. I didn't have this problem last time around. Jamie, are you experiencing any similar problems?-Tara

6/25/10 Hi Ladies. I can click on each worksheet but both are blank. I will check back soon! I do not see any information on these worksheets!!! HELP! Maybe I will send Chris a message. Jamie

6/25/10 I didn't see anyone different from who you listed. The spelling for caucasian needs to be corrected. You might also include the socio-economic of the people at the crash. They look rather well-to-do (upper class). As far as inferences that can be made, it almost looks like this is a social event. As the reading stated, people showed up to have their picture taken. Some of the people in the picture look to be "posing" for the camera. The questions were exactlly what I was thinking as I was looking at the pictures. I also wonder who treated the injured. As far as an answer to that, you might be able to track down medical records. I also thought, though this is a long stretch, that you might be able to interview survivors/townspeople (I know they would be 101, but it's a possibility). As far as the KWL, I honestly can't think of anything else you might add. You hit all of the major points.

Tara PS-I tried to research the bend question, but my search revealed no answer. I had the same question, too. Our course readings have me second guessing lots of pictures.

6/26/ Megan, (and Tara) I am so sorry but I think I accidently deleted your KWL chart. I am still not able to view anything that you have written so I am just going to add some things I see, which I am sure you already have! Photo Analysis: An apparent train wreck from the early 1900's. People, Objects, Activities: People seemed to be of both genders and dressed well. A couple of train operators are standing in the fore front observing the wreckage. The front of the train is completely demolished and several other cars have been derailed and overturned. People are standing around at what appears to be the cleanup of the wreck. Inferences: I guess I would infer that the train ran into something or hit something; mainly because the front of the train implies such.In looking closer at the photo it is titled ICRR (which I assume is an acronym for the train, Farmer City, IL (which I imagine is where the wreck occurred) on October 5, 1909 Questions: How did the train actually wreck? What did it wreck into? Were their casualties? Where were the passengers heading and why? How many people were injured? How long did it take for the stranded passengers to get to their destination? Was the wreck due to a machanical issue or human error? Sources: I would look for any newspaper articles on the wreck of the ICRR in 1909 and go to The Library of Congress for addition information. KWL: __I Know__: There was an accident with the train the ICRR on October 5, 1909. The wreck occurred in Farmer City, Il. The train carried both male and female passengers who are dressed well. __Want to Know__: How did the train actually wreck? What did it wreck into? Were their casualties? Where were the passengers heading and why? How many people were injured? How long did it take for the stranded passengers to get to their destination? Was the wreck due to a machanical issue or human error? __What I Learned__: The wreck occurred when two trains collided head on and 1 person was killed while 25 others were injured. Both trains were heading to different parts of Chicago and as far as can be learned, the blame of the wreck lies on Engineer McCue, who misread his watch and thought he had fourteen minutes more than he really had. I could not find how long it took for passengers to get to their destination.

I hope this information can possibly add something to the charts! We are taking the kids to Idlewild Park today but I will check-in tonight or tomorrow morning! Thanks for taking the initiative on this assignment and again I am sorry if I deleted anything!! Have a great weekend! Jamie

Hey Girls. No worries on deleting anything... I had a feeling I would have to transfer them to Word format any. Chris sent me blank word files of the KWL & SEA last Forum b/c he couldn't see the text I added so I'll ask him to send me a blank NARA in Word form & that's what I'll upload when I add/combine all of this info. I'll be away this afternoon - evening but should be able to post the new copies tonight... tomorrow AM at the latest. GREAT info by the way. Tara- I never thought to consider their appearance/possible socio-economic status and the "what you learned" info Jamie is super! Do you remember where you found that info?

6/26/10 Jamie-Thanks for sharing the article. So, it was a bend in the track. I am glad to know that now.
