Students work together to steer the ship and navigate their way across a map.

Teams have received information about different costumes that RALF has worn to previous years' competitions. They will need to read, analyze, and discuss what caused RALF to miss out on victory.

Vampire: RALF used a permanent marker to scribble hair on his head instead of wearing a wig

Mummy: RALF only used toilet paper for this costume

Avocado: The theme for that year was "Favorite Veggies" and an avocado is a fruit (technically)

Frankenstein's Monster: RALF used a greasy paper bag for this costume

Class designs a solution for the prompt, “Design a winning costume for RALF”

Teacher reviews data with class and checks to see if designs meet the required rubric. Students then vote on the best solution.
