All Abord!
In class on Friday, we played this game. We had originally 16 people on a boat and there would only end up having 9 people left on the boat. I feel that there were certain people that were thrown off that shouldn't have been thrown off and vise versus. I beloved that the reason why some were thrown off and others were not is because the students went directly down the line and decided whether or not they are strong enough to stay on the boat. I also feel that if the student chose who should stay on the boat, based on strength, stamina, age, and occupation.

I agree. In American society, people tend to value the youth, usefulness, and future. In my class, the poet, millionaire, and Nobel Prize winners were thrown off b/c they were considered not strong enough to row the boat.
ReplyDeleteKels - careful of spelling. Also, be sure to explain the lesson here, i.e. why did we do it? AND be sure to relate it to something that is from your own experience and not from class.
