Book Study: A Night to Remember: Read All About It!

After finishing Walter Lord’s A Night to Remember, give readers a chance to act as a reporter, compiling information and sharing the story with the public! Geared toward seventh- and eighth-grade learners, this creative extension activity invites students to consider the speculative newspaper reports after the Titanic’s sinking. They’ll need to use facts from the text to help them determine the most important information to share in a newspaper report. This three-page worksheet includes details about the assignment, a graphic organizer for planning, and a newspaper template for the final product. For added engagement, students can cut out their completed templates and display their newspapers, inviting others to “Read all about it!”
