Jones, K. (1986) Shipwrecked! Graded simulations I, Survival. Lingual House.

As a result of this activity, participants will be able to: 1. Develop techniques for verbal and nonverbal communication with characters with backgrounds and motives different than their own (verbal and non-verbal communication). 2. Articulate how different decision-making models within the simulation result in different experiences and end results for the simulation (teamwork). 3. Practice and assess their own ability to suspend judgment and value interactions with characters with different backgrounds and motives than their own (openness). 4. Explore their relationship to ambiguous contexts based on missing or unreliable information presented by their own character or other characters in the simulation (curiosity).
