Diary Entries
Over this week, we will record our process everyday and continue to update what we have done
Day 1:
We sorted out who would do what and split between our two classrooms. Mavi and Julia were in charge of making the progress diary while Ben Morris, Edward, Bibi, Libby, Zed, Emanuelle and Mia made the video to promote our video. Branden and Julia made the posters to promote our video, and Ryan and Ben Baker worked on which phsyical test you would have to in order to be an applicant for Mars. Zed and Adam worked on the radio show. Archie and Ryan worked on the medical test while Anais, Skylar and Sasha worked on the IQ test. Evan created the website and him, Emanuelle and Ryan worked on the final touhces.
The promotion group worked in the science room while the test and website group worked in the English room.
After lunch, we met together as a group to talk about what we have accomplished this day and what we need to do. We had finished all tasks that were set for us today and we began to work on tomorrow and Wednesday's work.
OPIONIONS:
"At first the task was hard to understand. By the time we split into groups and talked it through, it all flowed into place." -Skylar
"I think today went spectacularly!" - Archie
"So far it's going really well. We work well together as a group and hopefully we will get much better as the week progresses." -Emanuelle
Day 3:
What we have done today is we worked on the National Anthem of Mars, and we all sang the anthem. Also, we planned our diorama. We completed the living space of the rocket, interior and exterior, and the living space on Mars. We completed the rest of our flag and we also put a pole on the flag. We then completed the designs that male and females will wear on Mars. We talked as a group about whether we should have pets and animals coming to Mars or not.
Day 3:
Today our main goals ( that were set by our leader Maria) was to essentially finish what tasks we already started. We had to ( by 2:00) have finished the following:
1. Any Poster related work ( i.e campaing propaganda)
2. The anthem needed to be rehearsed and done! ( on the website ready to go..)
3. FINISH the diarama ( we decided to use this as the medium for our snapshot of Planeta Vermello because we felt that by having a "tangible" display piece, that it becomes more interactive, henceforth promoting and communicating our ideas much more efficiently.)
4. Our display board, needed to be done adn ready to go , however, due to some MINOR technical difficulties we were unable to complete this task today :(
5. We needed to have SORTED whos saying what in assembly friday and if they feel confident enough.
Day 2:
Sasha drew a table on the board with what tasks each person should complete. Different people we assigned to create a model rocket with the help of Mr. Martin. These people were Adam, Zed, Anais and Ben Baker. Emanuelle, Evan discussed how differnt people and things have reached other planets before. Skylar helped with the propulsion of rockets and other things have reached different planets before. Edward, Ben Morris, Ryan Wentworth and Archie all discussed the geography and the geology of Mars. Mavi and Julia designed the interior and exterior design of the rocket ship. The whole group managed to finish our flag and the anthem. Libby, Bibi, Anais and Ben Baker designed the clothes that you would wear on Mars for both men and women. Ben Morris worked on the transportation in Mars while Edward and Ryan Wentworth worked on the living space for the living quarters on Mars. Ben Hoyos and Branden worked on what food we would eat and what physical activity each person would do.
After lunch, we met as a group to decide what was left to be completed. We had already completed all the tasks that was set for Tuesday so we began to work on Wednesday and Thursdays work.
