What educators are saying

I used this activity with my 5th grade gifted students when we learned about architecture and building safety. The kids had so much fun determining what happened and the problems that results in the disaster. I also plan to use this activity when I teach the Progressive Era.
My students briefly discovered this tragedy when being introduced to the Gilded Age. We loved taking a deeper dive into the tragedy and how it started and how it could have been prevented.

Description

Students will investigate the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire by first creating an investigation notebook and then searching for eyewitness statements and evidence scattered around the classroom. As they find more clues, students will start to understand the horrific events that took place. They’ll wrap up the activity by writing a report explaining what caused the fire, who was to blame for the fire, and propose laws to prevent such a tragedy from happening again. A quick Exit Ticket is also included.
