Double-sided Titanic Lapbook

I took a class this summer called Educating Towards a Global Perspective, basically a Social Studies methods teaching course. I've already graduated college w/ a degree and teacher certification, but had to take a class to get my certification reactivated. anyway... the class was great! one of our assignments was to create a lapbook of a social studies topic of our choosing. I decided to go with a Titanic book b/c I find it a fascination topic and I know kids like it too.

I began searching Titanic on Teachers Pay Teachers, a great teacher resource. while I found some helpful information there, I found most of my information from other sources, mainly homeschooling blogs/websites. the best sites are the links listed below.
