Students brainstorm a list of the worst things that could happen to them now or in the future. Challenge them to come up with a ways to survive/thrive in that situation given what they've learned from school.

Survive the worst thing that can happen to you given what you've learned from your schooling.

How does this idea help to spark student curiosity?
Everyone has a dream for what they want from life. This is their Plan A. It's prudent to prepare for bumps along the way: Plan B. Adversity, like necessity, can birth innovation and creativity. This is an exercise in design thinking where a student empathizes with their unfortunate self to frame a problem and, hopefully, solve it. After all the high stakes testing this provides students with a way to prototype how their education has prepared them.What grade level is this idea most appropriate for?
- All of the above
