The Titanic: Violet Jessop (Y6 Writing)

I used this as a resource for Y6 writing during a topic on The Titanic. It is set up in three parts so that more able writers can develop ideas in greater depth. The third element is at their discretion. The boys were fascinated by a story about an unlucky man from the US and most of them chose to work his misfortune into a diary account… I found this in a book and will add the story when I can find it… One greater depth writer used some web design skills we had practiced to produce a great resource with four biographical accounts of jinxed/lucky people including Violet Jessop. The two shared writes give ideas of how to develop stories based on true events.
