Island Survival and Reading Record

      Last Friday was a fun day.  Especially in English Class.  We got introduced to our book and did an activity on island survival.  All of our class was stranded on island with jus the clothes on our backs and sixteen first grade.  It was really exciting and a little scary, although some people win our class did not want to participate or contribute because it was not a real situation.  The ones that did participate including myself got to have fun and got pretty far along.  We created a job list.  Dell was going to hunt and Alex was going to get fish.  Martine, Omar, and I were going to build a shelter and find food.  Amanda, Kate, Katherine Ann, and Brooke were going to take care of the first graders.  However some other people contributed and just wanted to help where was needed and just in general which was great!  

      Many people came up with what are the basic needs we need first which would help us in our real life situation.  My list had that we need to find dry fire wood and make a fire, we need a shelter, we also need clean water.  Martine's list had that we needed to get to the highest point and make a fire for a signal.  Bria ad Katie said that we should sacrifice the people that we don't like in a volcano, which is a little silly.  Dell said that we need to get coconuts and boil clean water in them.  Brooke said that some of the strong people should go off on their own group.  It is very interesting got see what people say about what we need to do as a group.  I think that we would survive on an island with sixteen first graders because people would take it more seriously than they did last friday.
