Island Adventure, Day 3

Day 3: Part 1: What kind of beast?

Share your stories of the beast(s) you encountered and discuss the following:

1. How do you feel about the beast you saw and why?
2. Have you used all of your senses to describe the beast? If not, what did you miss? If so, what was each group members’ favorite description?

Discuss with your group, then write in your island journal:

1. Justify any conflicting information you have about the beast(s)
2. Where do you think it lives (they live) based on the description?
3. What will you do about it/them?
4. Whose job will this be?

Day 3: Part 2: Attack!

Somehow, the beast has wounded one of the members of your group. Mr. Welch will roll a die to determine who this is. One of the other members of the group will have to stay and watch over the wounded member at all times or else he or she will die.
Decide:

1. Will you take care of this person? If not, he or she dies. Send that person to Mr. Welch for further instructions. The remaining group members must, on their own, write the justification for letting him or her die, and write the experience of watching this person die in agony over three hours. How do you cope?
2. If you do take care of this person, the remaining members of the group will have to distribute the remaining jobs, but not all of them can be done. As a group, choose two jobs that will no longer be done, then each group member write how he or she feels about the decisions and how they affect their experience on the island.
