Desert island decisions take two

A role play discussion task based on the fictional scenario of being washed ashore a desert island and a recent discovery of footprints in the sand. In this task, students perform with a specific role in a meeting to decide how they will survive long term on the island. 

You can give natural leaders their chance to take charge or put wallflowers out of their comfort zone as the leader of the group: you decide how to allocate roles and let the discussion flow!

This creative task would be suitable for any class studying a survival-themed text, including Lord of the Flies.

There is an alternative version of this resource which focuses instead on giving a presentation using persuasive techniques.
