Today - a role playing sort of game to gear up for our novel study of The Chrysalids.
The Context:
It is 2034, and the world has been devastated
by an insane act of terrorism – nuclear bombs have devastated most places on Earth.
You are one of 22 people to make it into a local shelter. This shelter will run
out of food and clean air in 36 hours, and there is only room for 8 people to
transport to the last safe place on earth - a remote village in Newfoundland. There, the animal world and agriculture seems to be barely be viable, but they believe that there is hope to rebuild human society. The going will be rough. They will need a hard working community that is intelligent and able-bodied; they will also need people who are willing to reproduce However, due to limited resources, they are willing to take only 8 more people into their community, the community that will become the redux of humanity.
It has been peacefully agreed that each
person can make a one minute presentation arguing why they should be saved.
Then there will be a vote… the top 8 will be evacuated to the transport plane immediately.
What else do you need to know? The earth has to start over again...
