Sky High
by Feana Tu‘akoi and David Hill
Building a rocket in the backyard may not be a common experience for many students, but most will be able to identify with the ongoing human dream of exploring space. This text combines two texts: “Rocket Club” (a recount of one boy’s rocket-building experiences) and “Blast from the Past” (a report linking historical and contemporary information about rockets). The report explains and describes how, when, and why rockets have been used over more than 900 years.
