*Lost in Space activity* Sometimes, we learn more about people through their priorities than their standard introductions. Here are the directions for this assignment:
Direct students "to imagine they have been living on the space station for one year. Suddenly, the computers malfunction, and [they] have fifteen minutes to evacuate to a space shuttle before all life support systems fail. [They] will be allowed to take five items with [them]" Next, students should then, as quickly as they can, type their name followed by the five items in a discussion board posting. This is not a time for reflection, just a quick response. The class will then review the lists and inquire of various students as to why they chose what they did. Conrad, R., & Donaldson, J. (2004).
