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.

 * How will you make sure that group members will help if outsiders arrive who threaten your group?
 * How will you make sure that the rules and organizations you develop protect future generations?
 * 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?
