Creative Writing Project - Journal #3

Persuasive essay

48 hours has passed, and people are a bit angry with each other. Half of the tribe won't speak to Hayley or Renee.

As a result, you are all thinking about how to get off of this crazy island. Create a "realistic" plan that will enable the group to safely get off of the island or to be rescued.

* Persuade the island tribe that you are the best person to execute a rescue mission, and that your rescue plan is the best. You must specifically discuss why you and your plan should be selected.
1. You must describe your plan in detail. Be sure to include safety factors and a drawing/ chart of your plan.
2. Include your resources
3. Discuss "who" will be key players in this mission
4. Discuss a time frame
5. Discuss why you believe your plan will be the most successful.

The group will select one person/ plan. You will vote tomorrow.
The person who is selected to execute their plan will be exempt from Wednesday's journal. Also,
as the "Winner", you will be the leader of Wednesday's island challenge (journal).

Be very convincing, use specific reasons and explanations, and incorporate any research that will persuade your "fellow islanders" to vote for you.
