Our school has been contacted by a super secret government agency, Non-Earth Beings Agency (NEBA), that works with all non-Earth beings that are based on Earth. NEBA has been operating since the first non-Earth beings landed at Area 51 in the desert of Nevada. So far NEBA has been top secret, the government believes that the existence of non-Earth beings would scare most humans. But recently they have been planning a trip from our closest non-Earth neighbors from Mars. This amazing exchange will change the travel industry forever!

NEBA has been working to coordinate the trip from Mars to Earth so they have not been able to decide where our Martian guests will stay. NEBA know that you have been learning about the United States this year and so they have asked for your help. As your Mission Commander, I have been tasked with making sure that you do not give the Martian visitors any bad ideas about the United States.

YOUR MISSION

You will be assigned to one of five teams by the Mission Commander. Your team will be given a region of the United States to research. You need to find out everything about your region and create a commercial that will persuade NEBA to bring our Martian visitors to your region! You need to show them what is unique about your region that our Martian visitors can't miss so you need to make sure you learn all about your region and create a commercial that is eye-catching, creative and persuasive!

Now that I have shared with you the top secret details of your mission, are you ready to accept the challenge? Awesome, let's get started! Your mission begins with adding all the members of your team to the 3rd Grade Media Google Classroom... see the Mission Commander for the Top Secret code!
