Lighthouses part two

Today we did a close reading about lighthouses. We learned that . ..

"If there is a storm you can't see the light and you can't see the land where you need to go. So instead they use a foghorn so they can't crash into something." - SS

"In the past people lived in lighthouses. They were called lighthouse keepers." - RW & SS

"Lighthouses stop boats from crashing." - CR

"Lighthouses help boats by being a navigational aid." - SD

"The main feature of a lighthouse is a light." - VH

Here is a video of a foghorn that is part of a lighthouse. Take a listen. What do you think people used during bad weather in the past?
