 * FINAL WORKSHEETS:**

==Reflections The interesting thing about the use of the KWL format, and NARA format is that one can take a primary source they know nothing about, develop questions about the source, research the answers, and then find answers. Everyone has prior knowledge that can be drawn on. Some students will know more about a primary source than others. In a collaborative setting, when two or more people put their skills, prior knowledge, and ideas together, this increases the ability to learn. The two of you did look at this from different views, this is common. However, putting those two views together allowed each of you to look at the sources from a different perspective (as reflected on below). Very good collaboration with this assignment, which led to a comprehensive final evaluation of the photos and the event. Chris. ==

Good morning!

I started the first Photo Analysis Worksheet and will begin the other picture's as soon as possible. Feel free to add/alter anythign you feel necessary. To summarize what I have observed from the photograph taken on 10/5/09, I have analyzed that the picture is regarding the head-on collision that took place between two trains two miles west of Farmer City, IL that caused much devastation. I hypothesize that the people in the picture are a combination of onlookers, passangers, workers, and the train's conductors/engineers. I found it very interesting that each and every male in the picture was wearing a hat. I thought that was very symbolic to the time's era that the wreck occurred.

I hope all is well and look forward to hearing from you.


 * Rachel's Reflection**

I found it interesting that Tara focused on the tragedy that could have been avoided, whereas I thought of how much worse the situation could have been. Both of us consulted other sources but only Tara chose to include them on her worksheets. Overall our worksheets were fairly similar, commenting on the people and clean up efforts and wondering where they all came from and what all had happened.

Tara's Reflection
After reviewing your worksheets provided, I can agree that it is very ironic how we each viewed the same situation in opposite ways. I looked at the tragedy as a negative experience, while you were optimistic and realized that the damage and devastation could have been much worse. Now that I see your opinions and points, I can agree with what you are saying while still agreeing withwhat I sated. Perhaps the sources we found our information from had an influence on the way we viewed the occurrence? Or, maybe we just approached it with different mentalities. Either way, it is interesting to see the opposition and similarities amongst our worksheets.

I have combined our two individual worksheets for the first photograph and listed it above. If you think anything else should be added, altered, please feel free. I will work on more as soon as I can (I'll be teaching until 3:00 today). Thank you for all of your input. -Tara

Tara's Reflection
I have uploaded the second worksheet and KWL chart and compared both of our responses through the in dividual ones provided. It was interesting that our viewpoints were more similar and to the point as we critiqued and analyzed this image, rather than having opposite approaches like in the previous analysis.
