In this activity Mr.Olsen seperated the class into group and In the activity we had to list what we as group would pick to be important if we where lost at sea. In the list where items like fresh water, life jackets, fishing net, chocolate bar, and many more items.This activity was very tricky yet fun I picked water to start off as number one then went down the list.
Afterwards the team picked all their anwser we talked it out and decided as a group what would be first and last we got most of them right but some wrong it was suprsing to find out that many unimportant items ended up being the top chocies although It was a challange  it was very helpful.
