LOST IN THE DESERT: LEER ENTERO ANTES DE COMENZAR

GROUP DYNAMICS:

Divide the class in two groups

The Mountain Survival Problem

DIRECTIONS:

This activity gives you an opportunity to assess your behavior in working
within a group that needs to make an important decision.

THE SITUATION:

Your flight from Algir to Mogadishu has crash-landed in the Sahara desert
in a mountainous area and then burst into flames. It is approximately 12
noon in August. The twin-engine, 10-passenger plane has completely burned,
and only the airplane frame remains. The pilot was killed in the crash, but
none of the passengers has been seriously injured.

The pilot was unable to notify anyone of your position before the plan
crashed. Just before the crash, you noted that the plane's altimeter
registered about 2,000 meters. The crash site is in a very dry and rocky
area. You are dressed in lightweight clothing.

STEP ONE

After the plane crashed and before it caught fire, your group was able to
salvage the 15 items listed on the Ranking Form following these directions.
Your first task (as an individual) is to rank those items according to your
personal opinion in terms of their importance to your personal survival.
Write "1" next to the most important item, "2" next to the second most
important item, and so on to "15" next to the least important item.

STEP TWO: esto lo hacéis en dos grupos

The next phase of the exercise is concerned with group problem solving.
You will be divided into group of approximately six people. As a group,
rank the importance of the 15 items to the survival of ALL of you. Use the
Ranking Form to record your answers.

You are to employ the method of group consensus in reaching decisions.
This means that the final ranking should be acceptable to each group member.
Consensus is difficult to reach; therefore, not every solution or every
part of every solution will meet with everyone's complete approval. Try, as
a group, to make each decision one with which all group members can at least
partially agree.

You have 20 minutes to reach consensus in your group
