Mission Control to Cadets.
The Zenith-X lunar mission is underway, but critical systems are failing across the ship. Flight data is corrupted, communication logs are unstable, and navigation sequences are at risk. Your students must step in as W.S.A. Cadets to complete five grammar missions and get the Zenith-X back on course.
Every correct answer brings the mission one step closer to completion. Every mission unlocks a hidden code.
The 5 Mission Phases:
Mission 01: Launch Sequence — Subject-Verb Agreement Students correct errors involving intervening phrases, collective nouns, and indefinite pronouns to initiate launch.
Mission 02: Lunar Uplink — Dialogue Punctuation Students repair corrupted communication logs using correct punctuation, speech tags, and capitalisation rules.
Mission 03: Landing Surface — Sentence Structure Students identify simple, compound, and complex sentences to ensure a safe landing sequence.
Mission 04: Science Lab — Conjunctions Students apply coordinating and subordinating conjunctions to stabilise onboard systems.
Mission 05: Deep Space Pulse — Spelling and Editing Students correct spelling errors and edit mission reports to maintain deep-space communication.
