I looked at the first photo, which is of a train apparently derailed on the curve of the track. I did the first part of the analysis and will post it here. I am definitely guessing so please, if you saw something else as the cause, let me know. Kirsten

Kristen, I added some details to the analysis of photo 1. I also added a photo 2 analysis and the KWL. Check them out and add what you think is necessary. I'll check your additions and add more. Ray

Ray, I added some thoughts (especially some places to find out answers to the questions) on the photo 2 analysis. I also added more questions to the KWL chart. Kirsten

Kristen, I added a little to the photo analysis sheets and posted a "final" copy. Feel free to make and changes and post again. I am going to check out the KWL and post a final copy of that as well. It has been nice working with you. ---Ray

Kristen, I found some information to add to the "L" section of the KWL. The information can be found at []. Ray

Your forms reveal quite a process in working toward copies of the final documents. This is clear evidence of strong collaboration among the two of you. Even though we may pose many questions, it is not always possible to find every answer. However, your work above indicates you know a lot more about the photos than you did when you started, and that is the whole idea. There is not a curve in the railroad track (good question) it was the early technology used to take the picture. In fact, it does look odd (and you both noted this) that people were posing for the picture at such a wreck. This is not something one would expect to find today. However, when photography technology was new, it was big deal to get into a picture. Good work, good collaboration. Chris.

Ray's Reflection
To begin, I do not think there is a curve in the track. It seems to me that the photos are of the same wreck taken from opposite sides of the track. The track cannot curve two ways at once. Based on the fold in the center it looks like two separate photos were taken with the camera and then joined together. I think this would explain for the curved track in both photos. The track would not be able to alter its position, so it looks curved because it could not account for the angle the camera was using. I also noticed how the onlookers all were standing at a respectful distance. I am sure that a railroad official warned everyone to stay away from the wreckage for their own safety. It is also possible that everyone wanted to smile nice for the camera and get in the picture too!

After some research I found out that the wreck occurred in a curve of the track. But, I wonder if the curve is further ahead or behing the wreckage in the photo. I still think the curve in the photo is from the panoramic view.
