Shop Class: [2/8]

Upon entering the Danger Shop, the students will find that it has been turned into a movie theater, complete with comfy seating, popcorn and soda.

"Good Morning class. As some of you may have noticed, I was out of town last Wednesday doing some work for my former employer. Somehow that... uh... "work" was taped using pirate radio technology and mistakenly broadcast during a major sporting event over the weekend. Despite the breach in security, I thought you might like to see how one one can escape a dangerous situation by using the most commonplace items."

Mac then shows the work safe footage to the class.

When it's done, Mac turns to the class and gives each student a Mastercard.

"Each card has only $20.00 on it. Your assignment today is to go to town and purchase five items for your own personal survival kit. I then want you to tell me how each item can be used to escape a dangerous situation and why it would be priceless. Assume that you already have a Swiss Army Knife and duct tape. I'll give extra credit for those people who come up with ten items."

[[ETA: Shop Assignment can be handed in on Monday if you need more time or want to play this out.]]

Ivanova watches the commercial footage with a raised eyebrow, starting to compile her survival kit. This shouldn't be too hard.

Much, much later in the day - she was moving kind of slowly - she returned with her items.

1. 591 mL bottle of Coke - quick energy, cleans up blood, when combined with Pop Rocks makes a nice distraction.
2. Ball of twine - for general binding purposes
3. Chewing gum (foil wrapped)
4. Hairspray - aerosol spray for explosions, propulsion, and navigating laser fields
5. Paper clips - lock-picking, conducting electricity
6. Rubber bands
7. Waterproof matches - always useful
8. Sewing kit - needle and thread for stitches or patching fabric
9. Pop Rocks. See #1.
10. Mastercard itself - for unlocking doors

Total: $18.75

She smiles tiredly. "Thank you, sir."
