Warmup 8/20/15

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what would be the number 1 thing you’d want to have with you for survival?

(No cheat answers like “a cell phone with service”. Imagine you’re actually stranded with no way off!)

Stranded on a Deserted Island!

We’re going to do an activity today where you guys get in pairs to rank the items you’d need to survive on a deserted island. Here’s the scenario:

You and your friend were on a boat that has crashed on a deserted island.

Your job is to pick your top 10 items from the next slide all by yourself. When you and your partner have both done this separately, get together and come up with your top 10 as a pair.

Then we’ll discuss as a class. Think hard about this! Mr. C. wants to learn some things about you from this. Like the way you think! (And you may learn about Mr. C., too!)
