Challenger 2012

Today is the day!  You will be working onsite at Shelburn Elementary while your teammates are in Mission Control or in the Spacecraft on our Mission to the Moon.  Your initial tasks for the day are listed below:

1) Create 3 questions for each of the 8 Moon Mission jobs.

2) Take turns asking your questions about the different jobs via Facetime with Olivia and Hannah.  You should choose only one job at a time. Be sure to take notes as you hear the answers so that you can record carefully in your news article. Then, write your article about that job.  When you have completed an article,  you can begin Facetime again when it is available.  You may need to rotate or share questions.

3) You can begin writing your articles for each of the Mission Team positions. Be sure your articles are informative and interesting.  Add pictures for additional detail.  Be sure to save your efforts from time to time with a unique file name.

Independent Time on Task and Attention to Detail are the skills for the day.  You might be called away from this task to help a student in their efforts at the Challenger Center.  Thanks for being flexible.

Carpe Diem!
Mrs. Walters
