You might want to debrief after the activity and discuss how cutting people off the list was a difficult decision. Invite students to share who was left off the list and discuss what influenced their decisions. After all the groups have completed Part II, allow the groups to share with the whole class for a few minutes. Ask students to get into groups of 3-4 and have their consensus ready in 10 minutes. Once everyone understands the task, inform students they will have approximately 10 minutes to complete Part II. Ask if anyone has questions about Part II or what it means to form a consensus. Once students have completed Part I, ask them to read the directions for Part II. Give them approximately 5 minutes to complete Part I on a sheet of paper.

Part I requires students to examine the information and make choices individually. This video will give students a frame of reference for the Survival Activity. Once the directions have been read out loud, show them the video titled “ How to Build a Home Fallout Shelter in the Cold War.' Do not read Part II out loud to them at this time. If modifications are needed, read the directions out loud with the whole class. Give students a few minutes to read the directions. Distribute the Survival Activity to students.
