Survivor Island

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Decisions, decisions! Small groups decide on their dream career then enter a scenario that challenges them to make another big decision—if stranded on a deserted island, who would be saved or fed to the sharks. Because decisions are based on how each profession would benefit life on the island, pupils may choose to change their careers to stay on the island. Class members reflect on the dramatic learning experience.
