Tell students to do the snow quiz to see if they would know how to survive extreme cold. Some of the
vocabulary is a little difficult so students will either need a dictionary or certain lexical items could be
pre-taught.
Tell students to note down surprising or interesting things they learn when they do it.
Ask students at the end for their final score to see who would survive best in a snowstorm.
