Adventures of Jasper Woodbury “Rescue at Boone’s Meadow”
We initially had four people in our group. We are writing the summary minus the fourth person because they completed the project on their own.
[We watched the video and took notes]
We all started to collaborate and read our main ideas we had written down. Then we re-read the two questions we were to answer. We wanted to make sure we knew what it was that we were working towards.
Meghan: Ok, so we’re trying to figure out the quickest way to get the eagle from the field to Cumberland City, and how long it would take.
Marcee read her notes.
Jason read his notes.
Rachael read her notes.
Meghan read her notes.
[Meghan pulled out the things that everyone had in common and wrote them down.]
Marcee: Let’s figure out what the main idea is and get rid of the irrelevant information.
[Everyone starts to piece through their information]
Rachael: I don’t think that we will need to know the information about how much money was spent when they ate the pizza. I also don’t think we’ll need the information about how the air flows over the wing.
Jason: I agree.
Meghan: Me too.
Marcee: I wrote down a lot of information because I didn’t know what we’d need to solve the problem.
Meghan: So did I. It was a little confusing because I was trying to write everything down.
Jason: Ok, well we need to figure out the weight of the extra gas because you can only go 30 miles on 2 gallons. It is 65 miles away, so we’ll need extra gas.
Marcee: True, and we need to figure out the difference in weight of the pilots so we can determine how much extra gas will be used.
Meghan: I’m not sure we need to do all of that. I don’t think that the weight would make too much difference on the gas.
