Imagine that the class is stranded on a tropical island that has plenty of food and water and no dangerous predators. There are no adults and little hope of being rescued in the near future. How will the class work together? How will the students create rules? How will the community deal with any students who are not following the rules?

Discuss this with your group. Write your ideas below. You can write your general ideas in the General Ideas box. Sometimes questions help us think tough things like this through. You can answer the thinking questions in the question boxes. Remember, everybody will be able to see this so be thoughtful and work hard.


 * General Ideas
 * How will you make sure that people can have peace and quiet?
 * make a boat and sail out to sea for five min. for some quiet time. ||
 * How will you make sure that anyone who feels unfairly treated will have a place to air complaints?
 * We would have a meeting for the person that had a complaint. ||
 * How will you make sure that group members will help if outsiders arrive who threaten your group?
 * make a trap for the outsiders far away from our group. ||
 * How will you make sure that the rules and organizations you develop protect future generations?
 * Have a school and teach them each week for two days. and if they forget then right in a little book. ||
 * How will you make sure that group members will be free to do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else?
 * Do anything and follow laws. Have only have three strikes and death penalty next. ||
 * How will you make sure that the improvements you make on the island (such as shelters, fireplaces and the like) will be used fairly?
 * there would be a judge to see if everybody was doing the right thing. And if not they would be in trouble. ||
