My class was very organized, and very straight forward, but I'm not sure if our class was being thoughtful about doing more than surviving. Yes, we got the first three steps. Water, shelter, and food are always great. But, past that we started going into amazing detail on groups and it was almost too much detail. By doing more than surviving, you have to try to get off the island, establish a settlement and begin growing crops, things like that.
Also, by doing more than surviving, you have to work together, and I noticed some people were just denied a say, if their idea wasn't applicable to finding specific numbers on the groups that would go hunting, make a fire, etc. It just seemed like we were treating the survival like a math lesson, not something that could take a person's life at any time. I think there's a group of people that would agree with me, we didn't take the right approach in class.

Bailey, I agree that our group was organized, but we became too detailed in our plans. In a real life situation too much organization could cause stress in an already stressful environment.
