Dis1: Charity Donation Assignment

Dis1: Charity Donation Assignment

You have happened upon a tired genie in a bottle who has one more wish to grant before retiring. This genie is getting grouchy in his old age, however, and limits the wish. He will give you $1,000 to spend, but you only have 2 options in how to spend it.  Option 1:  You may take that $1,000 to Vegas and gamble it, but if you lose more than the $1,000 YOU will make up the difference, AND you must split any winnings you have at the end of the night with a stranger. Option 2:  You MUST donate the $1,000 to any charitable organization of your choosing.

  1. What games would you play and WHO would you select to split the winnings?
  2. What organization would you choose and explain why you selected it.
  3. Share with the class the best cellphone app that you have come across OR your best idea for a cellphone app.
  4. Name three people (living or dead) that you feel have made some of the biggest contributions to society. Have a little fun with this one!  These could include historical figures, entertainment or sports personalities, a current politician …. ANYONE!  Then tell us why this person makes your list!
  5. That is something that the class would be surprised to learn about you?
