Good morning, I will continue in my quest to make documentary suggestions for the classroom and will feature blogs on the Late Victorian Period to World War I. This is a list of what I would start with for this section.
If I suggest a series, then pick an episode from the series to show in the classroom. I hope that this list helps teachers with their lesson plans for the school year!

It tells the story of the lighthouse keeper, a ship's captain, government officials, and the people.

Only 3 survived the trip. The deaths of 11 young people deeply scarred the town they grew up in. Narrated by the actor who played Branson on Downton Abbey. This docu-drama offers a different perspective on the Titanic by sharing the story of ordinary people. Words of the Titanic - YouTube Words of Titanic is a docu-drama featuring the stories of the various survivors of the Titanic. The producers used primary source documents and the actual words of those survivors.

This documentary came out in 1994 and features the last known Lusitania survivors. The survivors tell their stories about the ship and how they survived the sinking.
