They had little food, other than penguin or seal, problems keeping warm, problems melting the ice for water and protecting their fingers and toes from frostbite. Perce had to have his toes removed because they bad become affected by the cold. Nevertheless the small group remained loyal to their captain’s instructions: to remain cheerful and optimistic despite all difficulties.

Try to make a dialogue between Shackleton and three of his men about what to leave, what to take and why.Hints:….want to take something to read
… take my “gameboy” with me to play
with.
… need a battery … cannot buy
batteries at the South Pole!… choose a pack of cards… play with that.
… take my diary… write about how it feels and what happens to us every
day
… taking a bar of soap … try and
keep clean… S1: OK. This was Shackleton’s position. The ship is sinking. He has collected essential supplies and now suggested that each person take three personal things. What sort of things do you think we should choose?S2: I want to take something to read. I would feel very upset if there was nothing to do while we were waiting to be rescued.
S3: That’s a good idea. I would take my “gameboy” with me to play with.
S4: Do you think that’s a good idea? You need a battery for that and you cannot buy batteries at the South Pole!S3: That’s true. Perhaps it would be better if I chose a pack of cards. We can all play with that.
S1: That’s a good idea. Now what about you, other?
S2: Perhaps I would take my diary. Then I can write about how it feels and what happens to us every day. That way we could keep a record.S3: And I am thinking of taking a bar of soap so I can try and keep clean. It makes me miserable if I feel dirty. So it will help keep me cheerful.
S1: Those are good choices and good reasons. Now you each have two more to choose…What qualities do you think Shackleton and Perce show? Find some examples to support your ideas.1.Perseverance, unselfishness, calmness 2. concern for others and responsibility for team1 determined,
