Free Titanic Nonfiction Reading Comprehension Passages

· · · · · · · · ·

As a child, I was FASCINATED by the Titanic.  Sure, the movie came out during my childhood, but I loved to read books about it, too.  Fast-forward a few (ok, several) years, and I am still fascinated by Titanic.  I enjoy reading articles, visiting museums, and watching documentaries about the fated ship.  I secretly get really giddy whenever I encounter a student who shares my fascination, and, trust me, there is at least one kiddo who is a Titanic fanatic every. single. year.

 

Two years ago marked the 100th anniversary of the sinking of Titanic.  I created a free unit at the time to go along with the important occasion.  Since then, it has received a lot of wonderful attention and feedback.  This year, I wanted to spruce it up with some new additions!

 
 
 

April 15 (Wednesday) marks the anniversary of the sinking, so this week would be a perfect opportunity to use this packet.  This packet contains many differentiated Titanic nonfiction reading comprehension passages you can use to teach facts about the famous ship, as well as a writing and craft activity for students to showcase their learning!  If you can’t work it into your plans this week, this Titanic packet will fit into your plans at any point in the year!  Consider it an opportunity to discuss non-fiction or informational texts or a fun end-of-the-year activity!

 

Now, onto the packet!

After students create their Titanic, the booklet opens, and they write about what they learned.  I included differentiated templates, so you can change what goes inside your booklet if wanted.  For ours, I included pages for a Table of Contents, Titanic Bubble Map, Titanic Facts, Titanic’s Maiden Voyage, The Sinking of Titanic, and Finding Titanic.
