3. Man landing on the
moon
Text
“What happened in this event?”
“How do I know what happened?”

4. Man landing on the
moon
This was the the first man on the moon. His name is
Neil Armstrong. There was another man with him,
but I forgot his name. These were Neil’s famous
words when he took his first step on the moon:
“Thats one small step for man, one giant leap for
mankind.” I know this because I see it on the news,
my parents tell me about it, and I do research about
it on the computer.

5. Sinking of the Titanic
“What was the event?” and “How do I know what happened?”

6. Titanic
In 1912, the Titanic sank. The Titanic was a very big
cruise ship. It hit a iceberg, and it sank. Before it set
sail, some people called it the unsinkable ship. I don’t
know why they called it that. It called for help lots of
times, but most ships were very far away and couldn’t
help. Some ships were pretty close but their radio was
turned off. Lots of people died.

7. 9/11 attack
“What was the event?” and “How do I know what happened?”

8. 9/11 attack
On September 11th 2001, two planes were hijacked
and then flew into the two twin towers at New York.
Lot’s of people were killed. I know this because
sometimes they talk about it on the news and my
parents tell me about it.
