FAQ Mars Pathfinder and Sojourner
Group Comments/Conversation
| Comment Author | Comment |
| Mrs. Flynt | Use this space to talk to each other and post suggestion, comments, and get organized! |
| Meredith B. | NIce websites! Good job =). We also need to add citations for the sites we uploaded. |
| Stephie W. | I just started, I will be looking for any pics of it. My mom's the computer lab teacher at Glendale Elementary, so I can easily do the pictures for the Draft. Let me know! |
| Stephie W. | Topics: weight of Sojourner, time to land on Mars, who thought of Sojourner, who designed Sojourner, who thought of Pathfinder. We could do another page on FAQ's about Sojourner and Pathfinder. We could design another with extras like Fun Facts, Table of Contents, Important Dates, etc. |
| Niki B. | As a group maybe we could assign a different part of the mission to each person. The classes with more than one group member in them can work together seeing as how only one user can be on the page at a time. We can also use links to organize our info, like Mrs. Flynt said. :-) |
| Abby S | I agree with niki B she sounds like shes got her head in the game! THanks for the praise meredith B it is great to have some one motovational in the group! I think that we should decide how many pages we are going to have and what they will be called! Please comment back ASAP! Keep it up Mars Pathfinder group! |
| Abby S | I think that our group should step it up our group should want to get A++++++++++++++++ on this assignment we can do it ! THIS MESSAGE IS IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NIKI B AND I CREATED THE TWO PAGES THAT WILL BE LINKED TO THIS PAGE ONE IS GOING TO BE THE BUILDING AND LAUNCHING OF THIS ROVER AND THE OTHER WILL BE THE TRAVELING LANDING AND THE DISCOVERIES FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Niki B. | Ok we are gonna have to find a way to evenly split the work, between pages. |
| Meredith B. | Good idea guys! Well, maybe since we have an uneven number and the groups will have to be 3 and 2 anyways, we could have the three 7th graders work on one page and the two 6th graders work on another. This would probably work out better because you tend to talk more to people in your grade, making it easier to communicate our ideas for the page and make sure everyone has a say in what the page turns out to be. I agree with Abby (Abikins! lol =]), we should want an A++++++++++++++++!!!! |
| Niki B. | Good idea Meredith! So how about the three seventh graders work on the "traveling, landing and discoveries of Mars Pathfinder" portion, because it may be a bit broader of a subject and there are three of us. So, if its ok with the rest of the group, then Meredith, Abby and I will work on "The traveling, landing and discoveries of Mars Pathfinder" and Kiarra and Stephie will work on "The building and launching of Mars Pathfinder". I think that our group is doing an excellent job of communicating between eachother. Keep up the good work everyone!! Lets shoot for that A++++++++++++++++++++++!! |
| Abby S. |
Remember this is going to be a group effort! WE all need A+++++++++++++++++++++++'s on this assignment Who added the other link to a new page? I think that might not be needed. |
| Meredith B. | Niki's plan sounds good. I'm in if everyone else is! I DECIDED TO ADD A "HOME" PAGE WHICH WILL HAVE SOME BACKGROUND INFO OR SOMETHING AND THE LINKS TO THE OTHER TWO PAGES! |
| So can we do the FAQ for one of the pages? | |
| Niki B. | Ok everyone, we have constructed our links and now we need to add some more info to the pages. Remember which subject you're working on!! A+++++++++++++ |
| Anonymous |
Please make sure everyone is doing their part. 6th grade page is empty! |
| Meredith B. |
I don't think we should have the FAQ page because most (pretty much all) of those questions need to be answered on the other pages!!!! Also, today the 6th grade page needs some information on it! |
| Stephie W |
Can I please get some help on the FAQ Page? I can tell that no one has been on it since I was last on. How should we organize the building and launching info? I think we need to get more links on the TOC soon, with all these pages. Remember to add links to our HomePage so that no one has to go all the way back to the beginning of the site and find there way back here! |
| Abby | May i PLEASEEEEEEE delete the facts about pathfinder page we r having the main page that is Mars pathfinder home page and then the two pages linking off of it
The building and launching of Mars Pathfinder-Sojourner The traveling, landing, and discoveries of Mars Pathfinder-Sojourner and then we can also have the FAQ page but no others ur just wasting ur time making them on the faq page it will be questions |
| Meredith | Abby, I agree. I'm deleting it right now (: I also added the FAQ page to the links on the home page. |
| Stephie | I added a bit of info to the 6th grade page, but not much because I had no time. I think everything's going along great, though! I also plan to work a bit more on it tonight! |
| IS KIARRA IN OUR GROUP????????? |
