Tricia -- I worked on the NARA photo worksheets for Photo 1 and Photo 2. Take a look and please add or change as you see fit! Then we can begin working on the KWL Chart. Thanks, Michele



Thanks for getting us started Michelle - everything looks great. The only thing that I would add to the first photo analysis are a couple of extra questions. "How long did the clean up take?" "What impact did it have on train service during that time period?" Do we know the exact date of the photo? I tried to add them to the existing document, but I was afraid that I was going to erase what you started. Please advise how to edit on the worksheet when it has already been saved as a pdf by you :))))

I am adding the KWL chart. I filled in the K and W sections - feel free to add additional information. The last thing for us to do is to research the train wreck and fill in the "L" column. I will start researching now.

Tricia --

I made the additions to the NARA worksheet for Photo 1 that you suggested! Here is what I did to edit it...I downloaded it, typed in the additions, resaved a copy to my computer, then I uploaded it to the Wiki, and deleted the old version. There has to be an easier way! :):) I plan on taking a look at the KWL right now! Thanks for getting that started.

The KWL looks great! I will begin some research too!

Tricia --

Here is some informtion I found throught my research. We can add this to the "L" section of the KWL. 1. The train wreck occurred at 9:40 PM on October 5,1909 2. The wreck was caused when 2 trains met head on rounding the curve in the tracks 3. 1 passenger was killed and several were injured

Let me know what you find!

Michele Good work Michelle....Here is what I found for research. (source: The Daily Review Decatur Illinois 10-06-1909) 1. The wreck occured on the Illinois Central Railroad. 2. The name of the person who died was Miss Caroline Watson of Farmer City. She was 27 and comin home from the State Fair. 3. One train was coming southbound from Chicago and the other train was a special State Fair train going from Springfield to Gilman. 4. One of the coach cars was made of steel - which was unusual. Normally wooden coaches were used. Had this been a wooden cart - it is speculated that many more lives would have been lost. 5. They were able to clear the tracks by Wednesday at noon (the accident happened on Tuesday night). Source: The October 8, 1909 edition of the Clinton Register. I will update the KWL now and submit the new version on this page. We should be done then:))

Tricia -- Great work as well! Thanks for updating the KWL! We are ready to submit this assignment! It was great working with you once again! Michele
