Living on Mars? Would you go? Speak! Think! Learn!

This is a new blog dedicated to speaking, thinking and learning. Teachers should always encourage their students to view the world around them with a critical eye and be able to form opinions about what they see and hear.

For the first topic, ask each other "would you live on Mars?"

There is a project called Mars One trying to do that. By 2024, they want to send colonies (and maybe reality TV stars) to Mars. Would you want to be part of this new adventure? Should reality TV people be part of it?

This could even be a great exercise for a classroom debate. Divide students in to two groups. One must support the Mars One project. The other group must argue against it.

This is a fun activity that teach science, social studies, art (make some posters for your side), drama, communications, speech, writing and more.
