Since I was little, I have loved Apollo 13. It's no secret...I wrote my first blog post about it and it's the first thing I listed about me as an author. I'm not sure how many times I've seen the movie, but I still enjoy it every time. I was fascinated with how Mission Control worked and all that the astronauts endured. When I found this book, it seemed to come full circle. I could now share my passion with my students using a book as a guide. As a teacher, I'm not sure if there's anything better. I devoured the book and took notes as I read to eventually turn into a unit. Let me just say that the book is only 90 pages, so it didn't take long and I knew it would be great for my students. It was an unintentional summer project, but one that I've enjoyed. The Unit Overview is available to download on TeachersPayTeachers for FREE by clicking below. www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Apollo-13-Unit-Overview-3249667 Keep a look out for additional unit resources; comprehension checks, assessments and rubrics. I found this awesome book at Half Price books for $8. It was originally $30! The best part is that it has facsimile documents from archives for several missions. It may just be the coolest book I've ever owned!! I would consider my new books a successful addition to my library and a failure to the library that let them go. To each his/her own.
Peace, Love and Space Exploration, CAPCOM Conrad
