You will be assigned a planet. Prepare a 5 minute presentation demonstrating that planet to the class. This does not need to be a lecture, or a 'content' oriented presentation. It can be fun, creative, and something that demonstrates the qualities/Gods/metaphors that that planet embodies.
  examples include drawings, games, role plays, debates, costumes, sotries, dances, Gestalt, Psychodrma, artwork, visual displays, dialogue demonstrating the best and worst qualities, poety, etc. Anything that you are inspired by that planet to create.
