Each group receives 20 for completing the task. If a group does not get done they receive a zero. Students then brainstorm how they can get this complex information written in a way a first grader could understand it. Through this get that if the information is compared to earth and written at a first graders level the first grade could understand. Pass out a sheet that has the earth's statistics.
Students then start working on rough drafts putting one fact compared to earth per page.
Students finish writing rough drafts. Emphasize who their audience is and the need to be clear. Students peer revise sheets. They must have at least two different groups check their sheets. Students edit their sheets.
