Ask yourself what the tribe has to do, in this situation, to survive. Identify
the problems and suggest solutions to the tribe.
Step 1
Study
the information and the pictures in the introduction and the task.
Identify, as a group,
what you know already about the subject. In which aspects of life should the
tribe be helped?
For example you
could make a
word web, a mindmap or a concept map.
Time
available for step 1: 50 minutes
Step 2
Probably you don't have all the information you need. What extra
information do you need to to write the survival plan and pass the test?
Formulate some questions regarding the extra information you need.
Remember, the character of the questions you ask greatly influences the
appropriateness of the answers you develop. If you ask short sighted questions
you shouldn't be surprised if you develop short sighted answers.

The following diagram provides a perspective on the relation of data,
information, knowledge, and wisdom. As we describe situations and seek
understanding further up this path we develop a foundation for
subsequently better, deeper understanding or more effective actions.
To improve the character of the questions we ask,
it is important to
transcend the levels in the above diagram. If we ask questions that
allow data to be an answer that is what we will get. If we ask questions
regarding relations, i.e. cause and effect, then we will find, or make
up, causes as answers to the questions we pose. When we finally reach
the level of asking questions that cause us to seek out and understand
the patterns responsible for the situations we consider we finally
arrive at answers that represent knowledge. Finally when we ask
questions which cause us to seek the underlying fundamental principles
that are responsible for the patterns represented in the knowledge we
are finally in a position to develop answers that represent wisdom.

Step 3
Each
student is to find information to answer these questions. Decide how you are
going to share the information. For example you can use e-mail, an electronic
learning environment, a wiki or a blog.
Determine which sources (see the resources section) you will use. Assess
whether the source contains the information you need. Determine whether
you understand the information in the source. Ask othe students or the teacher
for help if necessary. Make notes and, where appropriate, diagrams.
Time
available for step 3: 50 minutes
Step 4
Discuss
the information found within the group. Can you answer all questions?
If you
couldn't find answers to all questions, try to find ou why not.
Time
available for step 3: 50 minutes
Step 4
Write the survival plan. You may use a wiki or a blog if you wish.
Hand
out the the survival plan to your teacher at the beginning of the next lesson.
