Jackson's Book Report

Jacks came home from his school's Book Fair with a book about the Titanic, and he has been fascinated for the past several weeks. We have since borrowed more than 10 books on the subject from the library, as well as watched the movie (though we skipped a couple of the steamier scenes).

So when Jacks had to write a book report this weekend and create his own cover, of course he chose a Titanic book. He drew the ship freehand on poster board, colored it, and then traced it so he would have a back cover, too. On a couple of pages inside, he wrote his report.

Finding the Titanic is a book about a really big ship. It had lots of fancy rooms. Some people thought it was unsinkable. But it hit an iceberg and sank. Many years later, a submarine went down and took pictures of the shipwreck. They also found a doll's head, a bottle, and a rusty bathtub. It was a sad book.

He did such a great job!
