Summer Learning Journey | Activity:2 | One Small Step For Man | Week 1 | (4 Points)

Neil Armstrong was an American astronaut and engineer. In 1969, Neil and his team of
astronauts flew to the moon in a spacecraft called Apollo 11. When they arrived, Neil got out of
the spacecraft and walked on the moon. He is the first person in history to walk on the moon! As
Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, he famously said, “That’s one small step for man, one
giant
leap for mankind.”

As you can imagine, landing on the moon is a very dangerous task. Many things can go wrong,
and a number of astronauts have died attempting to land on the moon. Neil Armstrong, Buzz
Aldrin and Michael Collins (the three astronauts on Apollo 11) must have been extremely brave.

I always imagine that walking on the moon must be like jumping on the trampoline! Do you like
jumping on a trampoline? My daughter Laila loves it!

What to do: For this activity, let’s imagine that you were Neil Armstrong.

On your blog, write a short poem describing how you felt when you first set foot on the moon.
Here is a link to some different poetry forms.
