7. The first thing that we made was three very smoky fires in
order to catch the attention of the overhead planes. Then,
during low tide we went to our beach to write the
message. We decided that it would look more visible if we
made it look unnatural, and used colors. So, we used the
green palm frons that we got from the jungle to write the
message, as they would stick out on the white beach. We
also used the rocks in order to draw attention to our
symbol, because of the unnatural alignment they were in.
Finally, we used large piles and stumps in further increase
the notability of our signal, because of their contrast to
the calm beach, meaning they were more visible. We also
have our tribe members spread out through the beach
waving palm frons and our brightly colored buffs in order
to attempt to point the plane in the direction of our SOS
signal.
