There are 700 thousand people left on Earth after The Age of Disasters- in the last three hundred years humanity has been suffering from massive natural disasters. The icebergs have melted completely, creating enormous floods all over the globe, which erased most of the coast line cities.

Earthquakes have ruined many other populated zones. These events caused massive migration to Afrasia- the last continent that has left on the surface. As a result of over population in Afrasia, a plague wiped out more than 80% of the citizens.

Description:

The last two years of high school are very stressful for students. The idea of taking the SATs and/or ACTs, applying to college, and choosing a major can be terrifying, especially if you don't know where to begin. Each student will be able to explore a different aspect of the college process (financial, academic, or application) by examining different resources. After, the students will be given time to educate their panel. This activity is a precursor for the unit: The Game of Life in which students are given the objective to write, revise, and publish a financial guidebook/brochure for young adults (age 18-25) that will prepare them for “the game of life.”

The highest result of education is tolerance. (Helen Keller)

The goal of this game is to educate students about different belief systems - monotheistic, polytheistic, and atheism. After building a basis of each belief, students will enter a dilemma in which one of their classmates refused to recite the pledge of allegiance. To teach tolerance, the teacher decided to open up a class  discussion so that each pupil can voice their opinions based on their personal and religious beliefs. The objective is to promote tolerance inside and outside of the classroom and to decrease indifference in everyday situations.
