Podcast or Videocast


You will take your information from the last two days and talk to me about the likelihood of space travel, now or in the future.

First option:  Argue your points, positive or negative, that lead you to believe that we can or cannot get out of the solar system.

Second option:  Choose a movie that has space travel and critique whether it is realistic or not.

Third option:  Compare two tv shows that use some type of space travel  (Stargate, Star Trek, Lost in Space, The Jetsons, Battleship Galactica, Jimmy Neutron, or another of your choice) and critique the episodes.

For your podcast, you must have at least 5 claims, supported with your evidence from the past four days.

That looks like this:



  You will hand in all of this as supporting documentation.  You may use your smart phone, a computer, or a camera to do the recording, but the finished youtube or .mp3 (try the app Audacity) is do at the beginning of the class on Monday
