In this lesson, students are introduced to a teenager named Chris, whose story unfolds with each subsequent lesson. The only known fact about Chris is contained in a headline, challenging students to begin thinking like scientists about this hypothetical character. Activities include selecting goals, appearance, and personality characteristics that will be expressed in written and visual formats. The homework for Lesson 1 becomes the cover page of a project portfolio that students will work on throughout the unit.
