Phoebe draws the planets on the sidewalk using chalk while her father sets up the telescopes. As a class, come together and review this section. Why does she call her drawings “special effects?” Have students draw their own diagram of the solar system. They should refer to the illustrations in Bright Sky, Starry City and the chart at the back of the book, as well as other solar system diagrams that can be found online or in library resources. Collect students’ drawings and display them in the class.
