Project--Life on Mars, Possible or Not?

In this project, I want each student to research the debate surrounding the concept of possible Life on Mars and possibly living on the planet Mars.  Research and explore both sides of the debate with the links provided below and write me an argument essay, telling me your position and reasons to support your position.

Reasons to support your position could be some of the following:  Climate, weather, atmosphere, the planet's surface, temperatures, water, etc.  I want to see explanations for these reasons to support your argument.

Paper must follow the Classic 5-paragraph Essay structure and must be at least 2 to 3 pages in length and you must include at least 2 of the reasons and their explanations in your body portion of the essay.
