8th Grade--5/7

Today students met in their reading groups to discuss the stories and reflection questions that they completed for today. Next, we did a discussion activity during which we responded as "agree", "strongly agree", "disagree", and "strongly disagree" to the following statements concerning the topic of today's reading discussion.

• There is life out there in the universe
• There is intelligent life out there in the universe
• The earth would be better off without us
• We are the strongest forces in our world
• We should colonize and explore other regions of space
• Our society and species will stand the test of time

We discussed our responses and then wrote a brief reflection on our opinions and how these opinions might influence us as science fiction writers.
