Directions: The class will be split into two teams.
Scenario: Your work team earned a trip as a reward for exceeding your sales goals last year. You all boarded the S.S. Super Clipper for a relaxing luxury week-long cruise in the Pacific Ocean. You encountered a bad storm and the clipper ship limped to shore and partially sank. Only the top of the ship is still visible off the north tip of the island. You are all now stranded on an uninhabited island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Because of this storm, the cruise ship is not seaworthy, but is full of useful items if retrieved before it sinks. You have limited time to decide what to bring onto land. Your task is to choose the 12 most useful items to help you survive on this deserted island.
1. First, write a list of 12 items that you would individually like to have on hand to survive on the island.
2. Next, work with your team to create a master list of items to choose from. Your next task is to work together with your team to come up with a list of the 12 most important items you feel would help the group survive on this island for the next 6-12 months.
3. Rate the final list of 12, with 1 being the most important item through 12 being the least important item on your list. For example, one item you may wish to have on hand is a box of matches or a lighter.
4. Government: Are you going to elect a leader? Or is it going to be every person for themselves?
5. Shelter: What do you think you should do for shelter? The weather will be between 70-95 degrees year round on this island.
6. Food and Water: How do you plan to get food and water?
7. Turn this list into Google Classroom with all group member names typed at the top of the Google Document.
