Who lives in a better place?

Get together with another partnership.

Together you will discuss and answer the following questions. Which natural disasters are likely to happen in your locations

(fires, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, droughts, famine, etc.)? Which location is better equipped to deal with these natural

disasters, or is less likely to have the natural disasters?

While discussing, have one group member act as scribe. The scribe will write down the pros and cons of living in each location (this should fill ½ a page).

The group will decide which location is superior when it comes to natural disasters.

Who lives in a better place?

Now you will discuss and answer the following questions. Which location has a climate more easily

adaptable for humans? Is it easier or less expensive to live in your location than the other one? Which location is more hospitable?

The scribe will write down the pros and cons of living in each location (should be ½ page).

On the piece of paper I handed to you, you will write a score, out of 10 points grading each of the members of your group.
