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.]]
