What to do


Before you start writing your guide, I want you to search for more information about surviving in the wild. You will information about different subjects on this page, but also through links and videos. At the end of this "webquest" you will be an expert on survival techniques.


HOW TO START: 

1. Divide yourselves into groups of 3 and decide which is going to be your role:

a. Food and water procurement and fire craft expert

b. Sheltering and signalling for rescue expert

c. Survival equipment and first aids expert

2. Brainstorming: Talk about what you already know about the topic you have been assigned and write down the different ideas.(This activity is made in a group). Make sure you work out your brainstorm results and include this with your guide.



3. Use the resources that have been selected for each role.


4. Make the individual assignments.


5. Write your own survival guide, complete with pictures, the individual assignments and the brainstorm results. Also include the map of the island (see "the Tape").

You will be graded on an individual and group basis.
Your guide will be evaluated in a group, which means that all of you have to work hard to get a good mark.You must also take into account that visual aspects will be evaluated as well as grammatical and spelling correctness. Extra points will be awarded for creativity ;)


WHAT WILL YOU HAVE LEARNED:

- How to find out information on the web.
- How to translate that information into a guide.
- How to justify your decision.
- How to write a short story on consuming seawater.
- Some vocabulary on different survival aspects.
