Journey to the Center of the Earth 
Your mission is to write an entertaining and factual account of a Journey to the Center of the Earth based on what you have learned about what the center of the earth is like. The account may be in a variety of formats: a poem, story, script, comic book or song. If you have another format you would like to write it in come talk to Mrs. Maruri. For the functionality of your story, you may include that a material has been made that can withstand tremendous amounts of heat and pressure. How you use that little detail is up to you. :)
