PART 1 

GRASPS!!!!

1. Illustration of your planet by MS Paint. 2. Concept Map made be Kidspiration. 3. Video must include: a. All tasks from the performance task narrative sheet (letter from NASA) b. 5 text comments, 5 audio comments, c. Short summary of how do you think NASA uses technology to research on planets, what kind of careers people have at NASA, and what have you learned after doing all this. d. Presentation must be more than 5 minutes, but less than 10 minutes per group. ||
 * **//G//** || You will use Kidspiration to create concept maps/ graphic organizers, MS Paint to illustrate your planet, the NASA websites to research, and Voicethreads to create a digital multimedia presentation. ||
 * **//R//** || You are invited by NASA to research on a new planet that might be emerging and create a documentary style video to present your findings. ||
 * **//A//** || You will be visually and orally presenting your Voicethreads presentation to fellow scientists in our classroom community. ||
 * **//S//** || NASA conducts scientific research on planets and other objects in outer space, but our fellow scientists have just discovered a new planet that might be emerging, and they need your help to design a profile for this planet. You will be helping NASA make a planet profile and design your final presentations in a documentary video to reveal your findings. ||
 * **//P//** || You will create a concept map/ graphic organizers demonstrating the characteristics planets have. You will be illustrating your planet on MS Paint and exporting it to .jpeg format. You will be using all your research on planet profiles to design a multimedia presentation using Voicethreads. ||
 * **//S//** || Your presentation must include the following criteria:

PART 2

**__PERFORMANCE TASK NARRATIVE __**

· **An illustration (picture) of your planet.** · **All the tasks listed in the Performance Task Narrative.** · **At least 5 text comments and 5 audio comments.** · **Short summary of how do you think NASA uses technology to research on planets, what kind of careers people have at NASA, and what have you learned after doing all this.**
 * Congratulations,**
 * NASA has invited you to research on a new planet that might be emerging. As researchers, you will be required to create a report on your planet. You will be designing your planet on Microsoft PAINT program and import it to another program. In addition to that, you will also be using the Kidspiration program to illustrate your project and making your planet profile.**
 * TO DO LIST:**
 * You are requested to work with 2 other researchers (your pals in the group):**
 * 1) **Draw a picture of the planet.**
 * 2) **How many moons does this planet have?**
 * 3) **How is the gravity related to the earth? Give it a constant.**
 * 4) **What is the mass of this planet?**
 * 5) **Is there any life on this planet? Please illustrate in Kidspiration.**
 * 6) **How far is this planet from the sun?**
 * 7) **How many hours in a day on this planet?**
 * 8) **How many days does it take to rotate around the sun? (How many days in a year on this planet?)**
 * After you are done with your planet profile, you will be making a documentary style video using Voicethreads which should include:**


 * Good Luck Researchers!!!**
 * We will check with you in one week for updates!**
 * We would love to attend a presentation seminar in your classroom about your planet research.**
 * Sincerely,**


 * The SPECIAL NASA team.**

 *  RUBRIC || **Multimedia Project : NASA Performance Task and Video Project**

Teacher Name: **Ms. A**

Student Name: || (Group Work) || All the members in the group divided the work equally. Responsibility of the workload was equal. || Most of the members in the group divided the work fairly. Responsibility of the workload varied in the group members. || Although the work was divided, some people in the group ended up doing most of the work. Unfair share of work done or not done by one person. || The work was not divided and one person in the group had to do all the work. ||
 * CATEGORY || 4 || 3 || 2 || 1 ||
 * Presentation of video || The presentation has been well-rehearsed. The delivery of information is very fluent and holds audiences’ attention. || Fairly rehearsed and the delivery of information is fairly fluent and gains audience attention. || Poorly rehearsed and the delivery of information is choppy/ rough. Isn’t able to maintain audience attention. || Not at all rehearsed and the delivery of information is insufficient and rough. ||
 * Content of video and Performance Task Narrative. || All topics required are covered very well in-depth with great detail. The project provides examples with their concepts. The subject knowledge is in depth and superior. || All topics required are covered. The project provides essential knowledge regarding the topic with a good understanding of the subject knowledge. || Most required topics are not covered, however, important information is provided. The subject knowledge is average. || Many required topics are missing and shows poor understanding of subject knowledge. ||
 * Originality of video and Performance Task Narrative || Product shows a large amount of original thought. Ideas are creative and inventive. || Product shows some original thought. Work shows new ideas and insights. || Uses other people's ideas (giving them credit), but there is little evidence of original thinking. || Uses other people's ideas, but does not give them credit. ||
