Introduction

It's night and you are sleeping soundly.  However, you realize that you hear 
the steady dripping of water along with the chirping of a variety of 
insects.  You feel a cold draft, your head and shoulders are aching, and as 
you sit up to look around, you realize that it is so dark you cannot see 
your hand in front of your face.  As you move to stand up, you realize you 
are not in your bed, but you were laying on something very cold, damp and 
rigid.  You catch the outline of an opening in the distance, but it is not 
your bedroom door, it is the opening to a cave.  As you make your way 
towards it, you hear grunting, then suddenly, something big and smelly jumps 
in front of you blocking your path. It's your parent!    

You have been blasted to the past!!  But how far back did you travel? Well, 
you learn that fire, tools and language have not yet been invented.  You are 
living in a cave with a group of Homo Sapiens on the verge of 
transformation.  You will make it happen!  You see, when you were blasted 
back, you acquired a special talent.  You will share this talent with the 
group of homosapiens that you live with.  

The area you live in is abundant with wild life so your food supply is good, 
but so are predators!  You have access to any type of bushes or tree that 
you need to use, as well as minerals that are both soft and hard (since each 
are used for different purposes).  You are not limited by natural resources 
and you have all of your full knowledge of modern resources and technology.  

Create and carry out a plan about how you will teach your skills to your 
homo sapien group. You will keep a journal about what you've done each day, 
the obstacles you faced, and how you felt both physically and mentally.  
Also, be sure to describe how everyone is reacting to what you are doing!
