1 a & b. They don’t have to be done but they need to be able to do it. It is ¼ of a mile swim.

 

Will discuss when they get there.

They need to find the answers for #2 and write them down. Look into #5 and come up with an idea of how to save someone using a rowboat. We will talk about it and they need to be able to explain how to save someone using a rowboat so a paragraph description.

For 6, they need to come up with a list and explain why buoyant aids are preferred. If they come up with 10 items and an explanation on how they plan to use each item that will be enough.

For 15, I would like them to come in with a typed sheet telling me how they would respond to the injuries listed.
