The Castaways
Imagine you are sixth graders on your way to a Hawaiian Field Trip. Your plane goes down somewhere over the Pacific. All of the adults including your teacher, Mrs. Nichols, die in the crash. All of you swim to a beautiful tropical island which is nearby. The island is lush, covered with fruit trees and wild pigs, but you are the only humans.
Make a list of things that you would expect to see, hear, feel.
Predict the outcome for your little group.
