=Introduction= Where did we come from? How did the solar system form? Where did all the planets come from? These are different questions that will be explored during your journey through space.

=Task= You are an employee at McGraw Hill Book Company. You are up for a promotion against your peers. While teaming up with a few other employees your task is to create a comic book that has the ability to replace a textbook with its lesson. Comic books are replacing textbooks all around the country, so this is an amazing chance. This comic book will be used for activities such as an after school program to further learning outside of the classroom. You will be assigned a celestial body to learn about and provide a story on how it came to exist. Should you win this, you will get a raise and your comic book will be published for use in school. Good Luck.

=Conclusion= Well done! You can now understand how the solar system parts have formed, along with creating a way to teach it to some one else. Your boss has chosen your comic book to be the one to use, so it will be sent out for the upcoming school year.
