Stonesoup

This is a rework of the Brothers Grimm story in which a stranger encourages a village to produce a nourishing soup by offering to make the meal using nothing more than a stone. By encouraging the villagers to contribute seemingly inconsequential additions such as an onion or a carrot, the whole community is soon enjoying a meal together. Students will watch this as an animated cartoon and then compare it with a documentary into a recent air crash where the cause is demonstrated to have been the cumulative effect of negligence by several individuals failing to take action at different stages.
