useful items to make life easier until help arrives.The personal earthquake bag should not contain more than eight items so it is important that these are already identified and collected before the earthquake happens.2. Make some suggestions for your own personal earthquake bag(reasonable and unreasonable)to the class.3. Have a class discussion and encourage them to accept or reject your suggestions but insist that they give reasons.4. When the discussion begins to get lively, have the class divide into pairs or groups of four to continue the discussion.5. Encourage one person from each group to write their list of items on a large piece of paper. Display the papers from the different groups around the room.6. Let the students check how many other groups chose the same items as they did. (They can tick their own sheets if there is a repetition. )7. Evaluate the items by asking the students which items were included most often in the lists. See if the collection of eight items fit the two categories. Discuss why they think these items are the most useful. Make sure they give reasons.8. Make a class list and display it in the classroom showing the class choices for a personal earthquake bag.Sample dialogue:S1:What do you think we’ll need in our personal earthquake bag?S2:If we have to collect things we need for five days, the most important things will be the bottle of water, candles, money and personal washing things. That makes four, do you agree?S1:Yes, they sound good choices. I also think we need a torch, a mobile phone and a blanket. Another three?S2:OK. But now we have difficulties. I would like food and sweets. We’ll really need food if we’re to be on our own for five days before rescue es.S1:No, I don’t agree. Food and sweets is a good idea but the medicine would also be very useful.S2:I know. If you were in pain that would be very useful.S1:I agree. So we have to choose whether to take the food and sweets and add the medicine to make our eight items.S2:OK. Now, let’s make the list:water, candles, money and personal washing things, food and sweets, a torch, mobile phone and blanket. If we want to add the medicine as well, what can we remove?S1:Well, the candles and the torch do seem to be the same. Why don’t we remove the candles(in case we don’t have matches)and replace them with the medicine?S2:Yes. That seems to solve the problem. OK. Let’s put the medicine in and take the candles out. Now our list is plete. Let’s tell the class our ideas and see if they have the same ideas. . .→Step 8 Homework1. Finish off the Workbook exercises.2. Review and summary what
