4: Mission Possible

The fourth graders spent some time learning about different job occupations that require art and creative problem solving. Each table was given a "secret" envelope which included an artistic career, information on their career, and a mission. In small groups, the students had to answer four questions (What is your career? What does that career do? Who are some famous people who have that career? What is a fun fact about that career?) on a piece of paper. Then individually the students had to fulfill their mission (example for the career "Fashion Designer": Lady Gaga has hired you to design her new dress. She wants something unique, long, and colorful.). Then each group presented their career, information, and missions.
