Lost at Sea: A Simulation Activity
In preparing to read past Chapter Three of The Cay, I created an interactive group activity to use to simulate being lost at sea and stranded on a deserted island. It asks students to make decisions and then reap the rewards or suffer the consequences of those decisions.
