Last week we did an activity that gave students in the class an opportunity to take on a role as a character. 16 people were given a character that they would portray on a "lost" ship. In order to do this, some people would have to be kicked off.
I thought it was very interesting to see what every one would do. Because not only did people have to leave, but every one had to decide who was going to leave. Based on the characters descripitions people then decided.
I specifically noticed that some people took more leadership than others and the people that stayed were people that every one thought would be beneficial for the boats survival. In other words, it was a first hand insight into seeing how people would react in a situation like the lost ship..

Another thing that I noticed when people were starting to be kicked off was people just volunteering themselves to leave. If people knew that they would end up dying or not being of any help to the others on the ship, they would kindly leave without a fight.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jessica, I am not sure how many volunteers there would have been if this was real life.
