Students compare these to the legends of their ancestors. Students can write their own original myths. Based on inferences from communications with the crew, students create a glossary of nautical terminology in their own words and designed for other kids to understand.
Supply boats bring all the supplies into remote islands.
Crew will find schoolchildren on each island to interview with questions provided by U.S. schoolchildren. Students email descriptions of their journeys to the crew, and the crew rates their chances for success based on how realistically they planned. Calculate time changes, create graphs showing distance versus time. Students conduct parallel studies in their own neighborhood and create a plan of environmental action based on their findings. Based on crews' information collection, construct copies of musical instruments from each region and use them to imitate music recorded by the crew.
