Send Someone to the Front!

#1Consider a world if humans could not

speak or write with words. What difference would it make in your

life? What kinds of things could you do and what kinds of things would

you be unable to do? Could we have built cars? TVs? Cell phones?

Would you be able to learn anything? If so, how?

#2There has been some disaster which killed every human on earth except for you and your group. The disaster disintegrated all books, technology, and modern convenience. Fortunately, it didn’t kill any animals or leave any harmful aftereffects

like radiation or giant cockroaches. As a group make an inventory of the knowledge

and skills you possess. How could you best use your group’s skills? How would life be different? Would you be hunter-gatherer’s or farmers?
