Echoes in the Classroom:
A Teacher’s Guide to Echoes Among the Stars
 
A chapter-by-chapter guide to the book Echoes Among the Stars, this portion of the Echoes website offers suggestions for using the text in a classroom setting. It features a brief synopsis of each chapter, related topics for classroom discussion, a ‘context’ list of historical events occuring at the same time as the space missions, and some potential topics for student writing assignments.
 
The chapter guide also provides non-teachers with an outline of the book’s contents and will hopefully prove to be a useful starting point for anyone interested in studying the U.S. Space Program in further detail.
