OBJECTIVE:   I will use the rubric we developed in class last week to evaluate several of my peers' Contact article during today's class.

I will take feedback from those who evaluated my article and use it to make my article stronger during today's class.

WORD FOR TODAY:

• SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence)
• Fermi's Paradox ("Where are the Aliens?")
• Drake Equation
• Kardashev Scale

WORK O' THE DAY: 

If you haven't submitted your article, do that NOW (even if it isn't quite polished yet!)

Please send someone in your team to the back table and grab 5 copies for *each* person in your team (don't forget yourself!)

Notice that I have posted articles around the room. Please read the article carefully and evaluate it ernestly and honestly. Please keep in mind that (although this may sound a bit rough) you aren't doing your colleague any favors by saying "OUTSTANDING WORK!!!!!!!" and giving them perfect scores when there is little chance that I will do that when I grade that work.

Remember: Your job is to assist your colleagues to help improve their article. You can do that best by writing your evaluation in a manner that you appreciate when you are being evaluated.

After you finish evaluating an article, put a " | " mark on the screen underneath that article. The next person will put another mark " | | " and the next person will add to that "| | |" and so on until four (4) people have read the article. When the fifth person has read the article, they will put their mark diagonally (Kinda like this: " | | | | " <but diagonal>).

No more evaluations can be done on an article that has already been evaluated 5 times!

Take your evals back to your desk and *thoughtfully* complete them.

Then stack them on one of the side tables by the author's pseudonym
