Shop Class: 12/8

As the students enter the classroom, They'll see and outdoor setting with multiple carts (the size of a Cooper mini) standing in front of a river.

The fact that the river is a mauve color should not be questioned.

"Today's assignment is to build a bridge or transport that will allow you to take the cart over from this side of the river to the other. There are various types of natural materials available around you and any tools you need will be made available."

*DEATH considers the nature of the problem and how to most efficiently solve it. Finding a large sized sapling, DEATH forces it to bend until the top is touching the ground and then stakes it into place. He then begins to lash together, with lashing that is a suspiciously complimentary color to the mauve river, a flat structure that resembles a spatula. He ties this to the top of the sapling.

Wheeling the cart over the platform, DEATH carefully positions it and, upon further consideration, attaches some flowers to the cart for effect. Once he is satisfied, he cuts the robe staking the sapling to the ground.

Much in the manner of Wile E. Coyote (DEATH, it seems, has discovered cartoons), the cart goes flying through the air as the sapling miraculously resumes its straight posture. It flyers over the river and lands on the other side, shattering into a myriad of peices.

DEATH marvels at his accomplishment.*

Shep finds enough dropped wood in the forest to make a relatively large raft. It's not as wide as the river or anything, but it will displace the weight of the Cooper enough that the whole thing will float from one side to the other like something out of "Huck Finn".
