** Group 1: ** You live on a beautiful island with only the population of Regina residing there. You have never left this island and it has been kept a secret for generations because it is so beautiful. You have everything you need to survive but you must work hard every single day. You must get up at 6:00 am every day to feed your animals. These animals are important to you because they provide you with food such as eggs, milk and meat. You must walk up through the forest to gather fuel for your fire for cooking and also to get water from the underground spring up in the hills. You must help your parents with other chores such as cooking and hunting for food. Although this life is hard work, you are happy because at the end of the day, when all of your work is done, you get to swim with your friends in the beautiful clean waterfall or the ocean. Or you may choose to sit in the warm sun on the beach or play other games with your friends while the rest of your family gathers together to dance and sing and celebrate life and this beautiful home you have. At night you are warm in your bed and are lulled to sleep by the peaceful sound of the water lapping up onto the shore. Although you have all that you need on this island, you and the community of people are careful to be appreciative of what you have and not to be wasteful or greedy. One day you encounter a group of newcomers on the shore. They have come in big boats and they have interesting things to show you. What are these interesting things? Are they tools that could make your jobs easier so you will have more time to play? Do they have new games or books? What else do they have? Remembering that this is all they have come here with, do you think that they are willing to give it all to you or will you have to trade? What will you trade for? ** Group 2: ** You are a group of farmers that once owned a very large area of land on the continent but expansion of cities has pushed you out and you have come to a beautiful island to start a new life. You have come to the island with all that you have including the following items: You will not be able to go back home to get anything as you have no money left. How will you survive once your supply has run out? How will you build homes in this foreign place without tools? Are all the items that you brought with you necessary for survival or are you willing to trade with the people of this island for their help? How will you deal with the differences in life styles between you and the people of this island? How do you know that these people will even accept you and let you stay on their island? What if someone from your group gets sick?
