Let's look back at what we've read about Mr. Squyres's life. To do this, we will create a time line of his life. As you create it, think about how the experiences in his life led up to him creating the Mars Rovers. When you are done, share your timeline with me.

Why are we doing this? Well, by doing this, we are working on:
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.6.1 Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.6.2 Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed
through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from
personal opinions or judgments.
CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.6.3 Analyze in detail how a key individual, event, or idea is
introduced, illustrated, and elaborated in a text (e.g., through examples or
anecdotes).
