The Moon Lesson. . .A Hit!

The moon lesson from Friday went extremely well. I uploaded the Moongirl video onto my Facebook and first hour a fellow English teacher came up to me and said that she had viewed it on my profile and wondered if I had it downloaded. I did and she borrowed it for her classes. My sophties had great discussions over the bombing of the moon. It really freaked some of them out! Others thought building a base on the moon would be quite a trip. They all really got into the movie, and especially enjoyed when the span of glass jars were shown. The best part of this lesson was that after the first class read the article, watched the movie, and combined the two stories, students from each class afterwards were excited to see the information for themselves. The lesson generated such interest that students were talking to each other about it outside of class. AWESOME!!! Hats off to my friends on Facebook, You Tube, and my husband.
