RACE to answer a space question
Describing the way the eclipse impacts different senses. What they see is easy, but while experiencing a solar eclipse students should feel cooler temperatures, hear night creatures, and have a variety of other sensations.
Recording History: Today when I Google “solar eclipse,” I get 52 million pieces of information in return; but imagine what it would’ve been like to experience a solar eclipse as little as 100 years ago. Encourage students to record their own histories for posterity. Have students compose an informational article for people 200 years in the future about what it felt like to experience a total eclipse, or have them journey back in time and write from the perspective of someone without our advancements in science or technology.
Mythology: Similar to the prompt above, throughout history people have observed eclipses and constructed their own explanations. Have students write a myth or creative story about “The Day the Earth Went Dark.“
