Aim: You are required to produce an informationreport, and a presentation about the planet NASA has
given you to study.
For the written component; you must write an
information report (see the section How to write an
information report for help). You have to hand in an
individual report about your planet. This should be atleast 2 pages long and use proper paragraphs,
headings and be edited properly with a reference list.
For your spoken/visual presentation: Your group
will have to give a speech to the other 5/6 Astronauts
and you should choose a visual way to present your
information making it interesting to them!
You can choose in which way that you present your
newly found knowledge to your fellow astronauts. But
one thing you must include is a map of your planet and
where it is located in the Solar System.
For example:
PowerPoint Posters
Models
Webpage
Animation
Museum Exhibit

DIVIDE up the questions and answer
some each. DONT FORGET TO

sure you have time to talk at thebeginning and end of each session. If
you find something that will help
someone answer a question, make sure
