Passive Programming Activity 1: Survival Tool Creation Introduction Survival plays a key element in Doomed. This program will allow teens to participate in an activity even if they aren’t able to attend a library event. They will be able to come and participate in this activity at any time. For this, the librarian will set up three different stations for teens to create a compass and a battery out of pennies. Books to Display Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George Far North by Will Hobbs The Call of the Wild by Jack London Hatchet by Gary Paulsen Peak by Roland Smith Activity Supply List Compass: Plastic Lid or Shallow Bowl Needle or Straight Pin A Bar Magnet A Slice of Cork/Styrofoam or the Top of a Plastic Milk Jug Water Battery: 5-7 Pennies (Must be copper outside and zinc inside) Paper Towels or Other Absorbent Material Lemon Juice (salt or vinegar works too) Sand Paper Tape-recommended LED Description of Program Gather all needed supplies for the teens. Librarians can set all the supplies on a table with the necessary instructions found in the activity resources. Teens can make the compass and/or battery at the table. Another option is to gather the supplies and put it in a plastic bag and staple the bag to the instructions. By doing it this way, the teens are able to take the activity with them and make it on their own time. Activity Resources How to Make a Compass Instructions Miller-Penny Battery Instructions Activity 2: Mythology Match-Up Introduction For this passive program the librarian will create an interactive bulletin board display where students can familiarize themselves with different mythological characters. This display focuses on Greek and Roman characters. The object of the match-up is to test the teens’ knowledge of the various names of these mythological gods and goddesses.

Moulton Only Everything by Kieran Scott Activity Supply List Bulletin board Colored paper Tape/stapler Glue Printer Folders Description of Program Mythological characters are prolific in teen fiction, but not all students know that the gods have different names based on the origin of the myth. The goddess of love is the same person in both Roman and Greek mythology, but she had two different names: Venus and Aphrodite. Staple or glue the two short sides of a folder and leave the long side open. Take the sealed folder and attach it to the bulletin board with tape or a stapler with the open side facing up. Print out the Mythology Match-Up handout and put the sheets in the folder. Next to the folder, adhere the answer sheet to the bulletin board. Be sure to take a blank piece of paper and staple it on top of the answer sheet so that the answers are hidden. You can use bright colored paper as accent colors to the board or you can print the handouts on colored paper. Teens will be able to take the handout from the folder, answer the questions, and then check their answers. Optional: If you would like to have incentives for this activity, do not put the answer sheet on the bulletin board. Students will take their handout to the librarian who will check their answers sheet. The librarian can set a number of questions that the student will need to get correct in order to get a small prize.
