As for classroom use, this would be great for a science fiction or fantasy writing assignment. They could think of and write stories based on the follow-up of the book. For example they could write about how the people of earth payed the aliens back for saving them. Any type of creative writing assignment could be used for this. They could come up with their own story involving aliens. Anything to get students using their imaginations and being creative would help to incorporate this story into the class curriculum.
