Read
Chapter 1 to the students. Stop at the top of page 18 and ask them to
take The Eddie, Michael, and John quiz (it can be reproduced). Once
students have recorded their answers, finish reading the chapter. Talk
to students about their own UFO beliefs, then share the five myths
presented in Chapter 2.
Writing/research
activities: Discuss
what happens when a person can't describe a UFO very well (see pp.
116-117). Then assign one or more UFO
practice exercises (pp. 118-120). Or stage a mock-UFO landing
on the school playground (see Chapter 11 for pointers). Scatter some
debris, help students construct a string grid before they collect and
analyze the debris, and ask them to complete a UFO Report (pp.
150-151).
