Plane Crash Activity

The plane crash activity that our class participated in demonstrated how quickly we all can think of ideas. It also showed how efficient we were in working together and combining certain ideas. During the activity, I realized that the main topic our group was discussing about didn’t have to deal with the necessities of survival (fire, shelter, food). Instead, government was the prime issue in our discussion.

I think my group had fairly potential ideas about what we would all do on the island. The biggest strengths about my group, overall, were our ability to quickly formulate ideas and how well we could all agree on certain things. Emory was quick to bring up who would be in charge of what, which led us to our main topic. Our weaknesses were, in my opinion, we didn’t really think realistically. If I were on an island with my classmates, I would first check to see if there were people already inhabiting the area. Then I would see if there was a source of food or shelter. I’d start a fire and try to survive the night. I’m not saying that government is not realistic. I’m just stating that government is not realistic in terms of basic survival when you first arrive stranded on an island.

I think my group would survive based on our discussion in class. However, we would need to think about what is most important first than other less important things. I think we would remain alive. If we will work together efficiently on the island, we might have a chance of survival.
