Quandary Trap!!

When playing quandary you have to be aware of many things that can affect or bring positive things to the group of people who are living  the poblem you are trying to eliminate, so my solution was "the trap solution" that means that people have to create some smart tools to trap the Yashors and later they could tame them. I chose that solution because if they had the yashors;  a doctor could take advantage of the saliva of these animals and create medicine for the people who live in that area. 

But as always happens some people say they agree with what i chose but some others did not, for instance, Manford who is a farmer says that we need to keep therm in the ecosystem as we they play an important role in nature even though they are killing the sheeps that´s why he agrees in taming them so that later these animals can obey people. And so does Dr. Canon she wants to have the yashors that take the saliva and then come up with medical stuff which can help them cure people when they get sick.
On the other hand, Yau and Guthria do not agree because they say we do not know how many yashors are out there so it could be really difficult to trap them all.

Personally, i think this game could be really good to help students  be more solving problem as they have to think not only in the solution but on the consequences this can bring, so you can spread your students critical thinking and at the same time they will have fun by looking at the characters of the story.

for that reason I would use it in my classroom so that students have the chance of making their own decisions no matter if they were right or wrong but at the end they are doing what they believe is good for them. Moreover, they can become more confident as they are  playing by their own, and for those who are interpersonal learners will be a lot of more helpful.
