KWL chart

==Reflections Excellent work on this assignment LuAnn and Caleb. The NARA allowed you to examine the various aspects of the two photos. The use of the KWL continued this work by allowing you to summarize what you knew from the NARA analysis and then ask questions about what you did not know. This was also set up with the NARA, which helped to develop these questions. Your research enabled the two of you find a lot of information about the event. You both appeared to work well on this with strong collaboration and good use of time. Chris. ==

LuAnn - beginnings of a KWL:
LuAnn, I just added to your KWL chart that you had already started. I will put my initials after them so you know that's what I added. Feel free to take out or add anything to the chart. I put the name of the place and the date on the know part because that's what was written on photograph #1. I see that you put where and when on the What you want to know part. Thanks! - Caleb

=K= There was a crash of two trains. There are a lot of people standing around Accident took place in Farmer City, Illinois - CC Photo #1 - The date was October 5, 1909 - CC  Photo #2 - The date was October 6, 1909 - CC

=W = What happened? Where did this happen? When did this happen? How many people were killed? (Caleb, I'll type up the KWL chart - anything you want to add in these categories?) Was this a head on collision between two trains or did a train simply derail? - CC

http://dewitt.ilgenweb.net/railroad-accidents.htm - this web site has a transcript of a newspaper article describing this crash. (scroll near bottom)

**L**
The two trains involved were the regular train that goes along this line at the same time, and a "special" train that was added to transport people to/from the state fair. The conductor of the special train thought he had enough time to get to Farmer City before the regular came through, but his watch time was not correct.So they crashed head-on. The crash happened at night. Doctors came from cities on either side of the wreck. Only one person was killed - Clara Watson who was 27 years old. Nine people on the regular train were seriously injured, fourteen on the special. There were others with minor injuries. Many were surprised that more were not injured or killed because of the severity of the wreckage. But the thought is that the engineers saw the other train and were able to start to slow down the trains before they crashed. Cleanup began immediately and by noon the next day the tracks were cleared.

LuAnn, the What you Learned part looks great! Thank you so much for looking that part up. It doesn't look like I need to add too much more to that part. You did a great job! Thanks! -Caleb

Caleb, I think we're done with this. -LuAnn
