DESCRIPTION

This comes from a written activity I found in a book I don't recall, and then I developed the presentation you see here.

TRANSCRIPT

A Nuclear War has just taken place!

Soon, most of the world will be destroyedby radiation.

However,YOU, the delegates of the United Nations, have just learned that due to unusual wind patterns on one small uninhabited island 300 miles off the coast of Australia will not be completely destroyed.

Scientists think that the plants on the island will be damaged, but the soil will not be ruined.

Unfortunately, there is only time for onesmall airplane at an Australian airport

to make it to the island.

Aside from the pilot, the plane can carry

only 6 people.

But there are 10 people at the airport who want to get on the plane. As delegates of the U.N., you have less than 45 minutes to decide which six of the following people will live, and which

four must die.
