One group created a historical timeline for our company. They interviewed everyone about when they joined the company, put together the dates on the newspaper articles, and decided on some key moments in the history of our company. Using drama we agreed to believe that the timeline recorded the history of our fictional company.
Another group worked on researching about diving equipment and procedures for diving in Antarctica. We received another email from management reminding us that we all needed our diving certificates renewed, and that involved proving recent diving experience and having all diving equipment checked. After doing their research, this working group decided to lead the whole team in a diving equipment check and then took us all on an imagined dive in Antarctic waters.
Diving Equipment Checklist.
“Just some advice, when you put your flippers on walk backwards so you don’t trip over….my assistants Julius and Robbie have their equipment on correctly so watch them…” Max talking as he led us on a team dive and diving equipment check.
“Diving in Antarctic is very dangerous because it is below 1 degree Celsius. You need to drill two holes in the ice because a seal sometimes uses one up! There needs to be two people to help one person diving. The rescuers need to be ready in their diving equipment to dive in and rescue if they need to. They need to have an extra layer so that they’re warmer! Not like normal diving!” Write up by Max.
The third working group did some research about life on board a research vessel. They then used drama to put together a ‘filmed’ interview with 3 scientists about the work they did on the boat, the gear they had to wear, what the food was like, and what their favourite thing was about living on the boat. We agreed to believe that we were watching a filmed interview as this group performed their interview to us. Next week we will try to make a real recording of this interview.
