observed. The traits that they pose different from the rest are having interesting life experiences, being comical, and caring about other residents wellbeing. Purpose of Popularity While observing this group, I discovered that popularity is gained in part by having a vast amount of life experiences. For instance, Mack was a truck driver and has experienced many things throughout his life time one time he showed this was during Observation five on January 29 2016. Julie: So thirty years ago yesterday the challenger explosion. Can you believe it’s been thirty years? Oh my gosh there right there tells you how much time has flown. Thirty years ago that challenger with that teacher that won that award, she went up in it to. Mack: Christa McAuliffe Julie: Yeah, McAuliffe Bill: You saw it Mack right? Mack: Yeah, I was right there. Mack used his life experience here in order to be part of the conversation. Also obviously he has already shared this story since Bill was the one to bring it up. Another way that I witnessed how popularity is gained is by being funny. For example Julie: Karen: Lastly I detected that being concerned about the well-being of others is another way to gain popularity. For example,…. Julie: Bill: By being kind to other residents it makes certain residents become more popular. Whether if it’s by helping them do something, or just have general concern for other residents. Interview Questions 1. What does it mean to be “popular?” 2. Tell me of a time when…

Christa Mcauliffe Elementary School is the school I went to for kindergarten through 6th grade. By the end of 6th grade I was preparing myself mentally for Jr. High.

messages through the humorous film footages. The title of this movie is obvious enough to give the audiences some hints about the plot of it. The junior Jenna Rink (Christa B. Allen) is always looking for growing up, having her body changed and becoming the icon that other teenagers at her age would admire to be. On her 13th birthday, the incredible magic wishing dust falls out from the miniature “Jenna dream house”, made by her best chubby friend Matt (Sean Marquette), has turned her wish…

Most of the books and films about the Space Shuttle Challenger that I could locate focused on the technical side of the explosion. I could not find anything that focused on Christa McAuliffe and Allan McDonald as the events unfolded. I want to start off my film with a quote by Gus Grissom; he is a famous astronaut who perished during a pretest launch for Apollo I. Grissom said, “If we die, we want people to accept it. We are in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us it will…

The immediate cause of the explosion was determined to be a white hot flame, which burned through the side of the rocket motor. This burned through the main fuel tank, which caused the liquid hydrogen and nitrogen enter inside the shuttle, which caught fire. The flame started in the joint of the motor, which was sealed with rubber O-rings. NASA had tested the O-Rings before and stated that they could fail below 53…

The program was to be cost efficient and have at twenty-four flights per year. By 1985 though, NASA had only managed nine flights for a given year. The shuttle they were using was nine-billion dollars, and wasn’t cost efficient as desired. Then, in 1986, NASA planned its largest number of flights yet. They had fifteen scheduled flights, one that would involve a teacher in the debut of the Teacher-in-Space program. The day before the launch of the Challenger, the flight was debated about if it…
