Group assignment
Form groups of 3 or 4 students, making sure to make the groups as diverse as possible.
Each group picks either a movie, a TV series, a book, or a game that deals with finding or contacting extraterrestrial life, but is also set in a universe where Earth (similar to how it is now) exists. Examples are Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., The Expanse, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Deception Point, Lilo & Stitch, but feel free to find one yourself.
Make a short summary of the story, and then reflect on it using both your study backgrounds as well as the models and backgrounds from the guest lectures. Lastly, make a suggestion on how you would change the story to make it fit better with the guest lectures. You can use the time after the guest lectures to ask the lecturers some questions tailored to your story.
You can convey this information in different ways, either a classical report, but also feel free to create a podcast, use animations or drawings, create a website, or come up with something else.
