Describe the difference in focus between Sally Ride's memoir and the acount of the launch in "Mission Milestones." Reread the two texts. Underline details that show the difference in the focus of each account. Then, use that evidence to write an essay. You should include relevant text evidence from Sally Ride’s memoir that contrasts (differs) with information provided about the Challenger mission in the magazine article. You may use a Venn Diagram to help you organize your thoughts before you write. Use your rubric to check your work and remember to only write about how the memoir and magazine article are different and use evidence from both texts.
