Unit+I+-+Section+3

=Activity 1 - The Scenario= You have just survived the crash of a small plane. Both the pilot and co-pilot were killed in the crash. It is mid-January, and you are somewhere in Northern Canada. The daily temperature is 25 below zero, and the night time temperature is 40 below zero. There is snow on the ground, and the countryside is wooded with several creeks criss-crossing the area. The nearest town is 20 miles away. You are all dressed in city clothes appropriate for a business meeting. You managed to salvage the following items:


 * A ball of steel wool
 * A small ax
 * A loaded .45-caliber pistol
 * Can of Crisco shortening
 * Newspapers (one per person)
 * Cigarette lighter (without fluid)
 * Extra shirt and pants for each survivor
 * 20 x 20 ft. piece of heavy-duty canvas
 * A sectional air map made of plastic
 * One quart of 100-proof whiskey
 * A compass
 * Family-size chocolate bars (one per person)

Your task is to list the above 12 items in order of importance for your survival, 1 being the most important and 12 being the least important. In addition list your reason for ranking the item as you did. Once your list is complete and ranked e-mail it to Mr. Johnson.

//There is supposed to be a second part to this activity where your list is combined with lists of a larger group and together you decide what is important. Although this is a valuable part of the activity, we will not be able to do it as you are the only student.//
