Task
Quest(ions) and the Task
The news commentator (teacher) will interview President Kennedy, John Glenn (astronaut), and Mr. Tobby Hanks (average citizen) about their views on the space program's monetary and social impact on the U.S.
Why did President Kennedy feel it was necessary to be the first country to put a man on the moon? How could we justify the expense of training the astronauts, the space ship, and most importantly the lives of the astronauts if something had gone wrong? Why was the space program more important than eliminating the welfare program? Should the people in the U.S. be allowed to have a say in the race to the moon?
