Introduction
[This document should be written with the student as the intended audience. Write a short paragraph here to introduce the activity or lesson to the students using the following as a guide.]
Some of us think we need this thing a LOT; others are not so sure; a few may not want it at all. What are the facts? What are the problems? If the facts are so clear, why are the opinions so diverse? What can we do to effect a win-win solution? Task
[Describe clearly and briefly what the end product will be (e.g.: a set of policies for a school web site, a redesign plan for an urban street, a plan for a new stadium), and tell what form it will take: (a slide presentation describing the solution? the actual product? a scale model? a blue print? a list? a web site?)] Process
- Students need to establish the facts relevant to the issue as well as the various opinions. (Provide scaffolding so that areas of agreement and disagreement are clear.)
- Research similar situations nation or world wide to see what others have done in similar situations. Provide scaffolding so students can keep records of successes and how they were achieved.
- View resources that reinforce the various points of view so students can build good arguments for their position. Provide scaffolding for this.
- Use consensus building techniques to resolve conflicts. Provide links to these techniques.
- Create the final project, dividing up tasks as necessary.
Evaluation
Describe to the learners how their performance will be evaluated. Specify whether there will be a common grade for group work vs. individual grades. You may want to have separate rubrics for individual and group work.
