In our classroom, the kids are divided into 8 crews, one for each crab boat in our focus. Each crew will start with a budget (a loan) in order to get their supplies together. It will be up to them to work as a team to have a successful fishing season (3 classroom weeks) in order to recoup their costs and turn a profit.
Each day, crab boats will have to navigate their vessels to various locations in the Bering Sea. They will use real information - maritime data, latitude and longitude, speed/knot calculations, and logs to capture the crab. When they get to a map location where they would like to drop pots, they'll discover if their research and crab savvy will get them the pot loads they hoped for. Each crew has strengths and weaknesses and they never know when a chance event may limit their opportunities. (Can anyone say rogue wave?)
It will all end back at Dutch Harbor where the final crab counts are made and dollar amounts are totaled. We'll see which crew survives (and profits from) the Deadliest Catch!
WOW! What an wonderful response from the fans!! THANK YOU!! My students are very excited and are off to a great start.
