But here, Nature rules, not humans. The continent is unforgiving of ignorance or breaches of safety procedures, and will punish foolhardy behavior. Venturing out in the field without the proper equipment, or when the weather is turning, can be fatal. Explore Procedure Divide the class into teams of 3-4 students. Have teams read the emergency situation described on their card, review the safety rules on the sheet provided, and come up with a plan of action to avert a tragedy.
Students can share situations and solutions with the entire class.
Debrief with feedback. Have students write a journal entry as if they were caught in the situation explored by their team. Share it with their team, or with the entire class, and place a copy in their Logbook. Ask students what they found most interesting about these individuals. Back to Activity A.2 .
