Aliens

Today we discuss:
UFO's and cropcircles.
E.T. can't phone home....
My debate class has selected "Aliens Exist" as their latest debate topic... I was hesitant to let them choose a "BS" topic, but then realized that 1. I ultimately don't care and 2. it's a great chance to work on research methods / credible source issues... I'm still waiting for overeager freshman boy to bring in his "legit alien book" which he claims will prove the existence of aliens... and this is why I love freshmen... *rolls eyes

That said, I wish I'd dropped the serious nature a long time ago; students are really into this topic, and I finally feel like I know what I'm doing... which is why we only have 5 weeks of school left... go figure.
