Here's a quick and simple lesson I created that combines Apollo 11, history, science, and English. It's not an entire unit or a huge time-commitment, just something to use when you want to get students interested in learning in your classroom. One of the main goals is to try to connect with different classes. Students learn better when they can make connections, and the subjects of history, science, and English make so many natural connections that most teachers miss. This assignment is a simple reminder that these classes (and your fellow teachers) work hand-in-hand educating our kids.
Obviously, you don't have to be from Florida in order to enjoy the excitement about outer-space travel, so anyone is welcome to use the linked lesson. In fact, if NASA and the Pentagon and POTUS and the UN all promoted this lesson as important for all kids, I'd appreciate the downloads.
