Engaging Scenario Overview A Three Hour Tour… Engaging Scenario Overview

Situation Our class is taking a boat trip to the Caribbean to enjoy the beaches and sun. Halfway through the boat trip the ship hits a shallow reef and begins to sink. We quickly load our class onto a lifeboat and paddle to the nearest island. Everyone in our class has made it and as we begin to check out the island we realize it is uninhabited by people.

Challenge With no way to signal for help and no sign of help on the way, our task is to develop a set of rules that will govern our new society until we can be rescued.

Roles We decided that during our time here we will establish a direct democracy in which all of you will equally participate in the creation of our laws. You have been broken up into small groups in which you will create an initial draft of laws which will later be reviewed and revised by your group.

Product/Performance With your team, create a list of ten laws that will help govern our island.

Audience These laws should reflect what is important to your group

Do your laws Reflect these Values? Unity Justice Tranquility Defense Welfare Liberty Honor father and mother No murder No adultery Do not steal. No lying Do not covet

Preamble to Constitution We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty
