"This unit is designed to be a story adventure using drama as the vehicle for learning by integrating drama, literacy, visual art, science and technology. Students are positioned as 'Space Specialists' tasked with helping a character lost in a Solar System. A wonderful interplay between technology and creativity absorbs students into this story. "
