You have survived the sinking of your yacht! Fortunately you were sailing in the warm waters along the equator, but no land was in sight. You and your few friends were able to hold on to a piece of the ship as you drifted for days. Finally, you have washed ashore a deserted island with white sandy beaches. You have struck a gold mine! When you traveled inland to explore, you find a supply of fresh water. There are towering palms with coconuts, and a peninsula of shallow shady caves. In the middle of the island, it is a dense jungle and swampy.

    Along with you and your friends, small pieces of junk from the yacht have washed ashore also. You must analyze each object. Can it be taken apart and used for something else? How can it help you to survive? Decide what you will keep to use and what you will leave.
