The Process
  1. *First, Mission Control (your teacher) will assign you to a crew
    ( 3 students ).
  2. *Contact Mission Control for your planet destination.
  3. *Design a patch for your mission. To learn how, click on the following link for directions on Creating a Crew Patch
  4. *Print out each of the Data Collection Sheets using the crew member  data sheet documents at the bottom of this page.
  5. *Decide which data sheet each crew member will be responsible for completing with information about your planet destination.
  6. *You are now ready to start collecting data.
  7. *To do your research, click on the name of your planet at the bottom of this page.
  8. *Next, click on one of the Web Site links at the bottom of this page for your planet. Read the information and make your notes under the correct headings.
  9. *When you have finished reading the first Web Site, view another Web site link for your planet. Read the information and decide if there is any new information that should be added to your report.
  10. *Now you are ready to write the rough copy for your cyber postcard.
  11. *Click here and print out draft sheets for each of your crew.
  12. *Using the notes you have made on your Data Collection Sheets, each write a paragraph to Mission Control on your draft sheet.
  13. *Be sure to include facts about your planet. Share some of your 'adventures' too!
  14. *Remember to write the postcard paragraphs in complete sentences. Be sure to spell correctly, and use capital letters and punctuation where appropriate.
  15. *Peer conference with another crew to edit your rough copy.
  16. *When you are finished editing, you are ready to create your cyber postcard. Click this link to go the virtual postcard site, follow the instructions, and send your message to Mission Control (your teacher's email account). Print a copy of your postcard for each crew member.
  17. *Finally, your crew will share the information you've collected about your planet at a debriefing session back on Earth at Mission Control.
