During the summer, you and your friends decided to take a cruise to South America to see the adorable pink dolphins and the fearsome piranhas. Unfortunately, you were shipwrecked in a storm and ended up on a deserted island. Fortunately, you found a letter, a map, and hidden messages inside a glass bottle! The letter reads: “Dear travelers, Welcome to the Island of Despair. My name is Robinson Crusoe, and this is my 28th year on this island. Though it’s been a struggle, I have a feeling that my rescue is near. To help you survive and escape this dreaded island, I drew a map of where resources can be collected. I found this mysterious box among the wrecked ship and hid the direction on how to build a raft inside. Everything is encoded in hidden messages to guard against the cannibals. Escape before they find and eat you!” Note: Theme is based on Robinson Crusoe. The plot is presented on Google Slides.
