The End of Earth and Digital Media

Currently, I am planning a unit based around two readings from our basal reader. The theme of the unit will be space with emphasis on creating sustainable life on Mars. My unit will begin with the readings. I will show the below picture to spark interest (fear, maybe) in my students and start the conversation about what would happen if an asteroid was headed for Earth. Where would be go? How would be survive? While I would like much of my unit to be inquiry based, it will be shared inquiry in that I will be helping to guide them to sustaining life on Mars. I haven't used BigHugeLabs in a few years and had forgotten how user friendly it is! Here's my movie poster!

Until next time...
Happy teaching!
