|
 |
|
|
Introduction |
|
|
|
|
|
From every day television to the up-to-the-minutes details of war in Iraq to following the track of the recent blizzard in Colorado, satellites bring realtime data to our every day lives. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Task |

The Process |
|
|
|
There are four roles in learning about satellites. You each need to choose one of the following roles. Each role has certain tasks that need to be completed for the benefit of the whole group. |
|
|
|
Techie - this person likes to research new ideas using the Internet. He or she is responsible for the scientific documentation about your type of satellite. He or she needs to create a folder for specific information and keep track of the websites used for the Webiliography.He or she needs to create the reports on the role of this satellite and the webliography. |
|
|
|
Artist - this person is responsible for creating an artistic rendition of this type of satellite and its orbit. He or she also will collect photographs of this type of satellite and the orbit for the PowerPoint. |
|
|
|
Reporter - this person is reponsible for organizing the PowerPoint to be given to the class. He or she will decide on the design and look of the slides. He or she is also the only member of the group that can ask me a question about the project. He or she is reponsible for the real time data pictures for PowerPoint and the poster. |
|
|
|
Copywriter - this person is responsible for constructing a poster to represent this type of satellite. He or she needs to make sure each piece of information is represented on the poster. He or she is responsible for the components and the list of names of this type of satellitesfor the PowerPoint and the Poster. |
