"Planet Ixchel”
In this activity, students are asked to use a creative approach (e.g., poem, story, audio recording, etc.) to describe a concrete or abstract noun to someone from the planet Ixchel.
Select a noun (person, place, object, or idea), preferably a phenomenon found in nature. Example choices include: a tree, a mother, a rock, sunshine, or an abstract idea like music or love. How would you describe that noun to someone who lives on Planet Ixchel, where seeing isn’t a way to understand life? How would you describe it to someone who has never been able to see before and probably never will?
Teaching Suggestion: The purpose of this assignment is to allow students to creatively engage with the obvious elements of communication between different species, potentially extra-terrestrials.
