We are Here: The Pale Blue Dot

This video, found in multiple versions on the internet, will be used as a journal prompt for my Intermediate Composition students. It’s meant to make them consider our existence on Earth, and how much we matter. Many of us think we matter so much, but in the big picture, do we really? What matters more than us?

Credit for the discovery of this video and the idea to use it as a journal prompt belongs to Greg Van Nest, talkie.

My Intermediate Composition students are also going to watch the film With Honors this week. Maybe they will start considering the existence of others around them and those less fortunate as equally important as their own lives. One can only hope…
