Get ready for
life on a tropical island. Pack things to take to the
island. Look at the consequences of your choices. Notice
that overlooking essential items may lead to sickness,
rubbish build-up or crumbling buildings. Recognise that
some of the choices are 'wants' that may look tempting,
but choosing 'needs' is better for survival. This
learning object is one in a series of three objects.
Note:
* Students will need to know how to log on with their
user name and password and how to access the Kidspace
portal if it is not set as the home page.
* Students will need to be shown how to open an
email sent to them by double clicking on it.
* It would be advisable to complete the activity first
as a whole class – show students how to navigate through
the activity.
