You and your partner need to choose 5 different squares and write them down.
You and your partner were on a sailboat. On your third day at sea, your sailboat began to sink. Fortunately, there is an island in the distance.
As your boat was sinking, you and your partner jumped into the water and swam to the deserted island. You are safe!
This island that you swam to has no people on it. However, there is fish and other types of seafood, fruit, vegetables
and unlimited fresh water.
The following items were on board your sailboat before it
sank.
Compass
Knife
Diary with pen
Rope
Matches
Axe
Tent
Gun with bullets
Medicine
Whiskey
Camera with batteries
Flashlight with batteries
Blanket
Radio with batteries
Guitar
Magnifying glass
Boomerang
Toilet paper
Unfortunately, only 5 items that were on the sailboat washed up on the shore of the desert island.
Remember you and your partner chose 5 squares earlier? These 5 squares represent the items you
will have on your island.

• Hi everyone:• I have taken the idea from my previous worksheet - http://
www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=58362#thetop• The instructions are as follows:• First, put the students in pairs. You can of course put them in larger groups, but I find, the
bigger the group, the more room there is for one person in the group to do most of the work. • On the 2nd slide of the PPT, the pairs are to chose 5 of the squares (Ex A1, A2, C1,C2, E1).
Make sure that each pair has chosen their 5 squares before continuing further.• Then continue with the PPT. Slides 3-24 explain to the students why they are on a deserted
island, what is on the island, as well as the 18 items that were on board their sinking sailboat.• Slide 25 explains to the students that of all the 18 items on their sinking boat, only 5 items
washed up on shore on their island. And slide 26 explains to them that the 5 squares they chose earlier will be the five items that they will have to use on their island.
• The students kind of understand at this point, but when slide 27 comes up, they fully understand what is going on. This is the point where the excitement level rises in classroom, and they really get into this lesson plan. I would give them about 3 minutes to see what 5 items they get, as well as they like to discuss with their other friends what their ‘funny’ choices are.
• Then I tell them we will go through slide 28-45 and they should make sure that they have the correct spelling of their 5 items.
• The last slide #47 I go through with the class as a group and then leave it up on the screen for them to work with. You could also copy and paste the last page onto a word document and print it out if you wanted to give it to them for homework, etc.
• Anyhow, I hope that you find this interesting and that your students enjoy it. It really was an exciting lesson in my class, and I had all the students participating, speaking English and at the same time having FUN!
• Cheers, Fletsch
