CONSidering the big question ....
How do the competing needs of various members of society influence changes in the way we live?
Task #7: Wyoming and the world have been watching your task force work over the last nine months. Now the deadline for your final report and recommendation approaches. Members of your task force are advocating for three different approaches to magichite development in Wyoming. Working as a team:
a. Outline each of the three approaches being offered by the task force.
b. Then, print or ask your teacher for a copy of the Problem Solving Matrix sheet. Determine the criteria that your Task Force will use to rate each proposal. Enter the criteria and the proposal headings on the matrix. As a team, agree on and enter your ratings. Check with your teacher to determine if you are to turn in your Proposal Worksheets and the matrix for a grade or class credit.
Task #8: On your own, revisit your team’s completed matrix and select any two separate scores. Identify the scores you choose by the cell they are in such as Solution 3, Criterion 5. In a written explanation, make a case to support why your team chose these two ratings. Or instead you may write a “dissenting” opinion, explaining why you were in the minority and did not agree with your team’s rating in this case.
Task #9: As an individual, write an explanation of how the solution that scored the highest on your matrix was or was not an example of compromise. Did this "winning solution" require more than one interest group or individual to make sacrifices? Who lost and who gained? If you determine the solution did not require compromise, how would you revise it so that it did?
Last but not least ...
Task #10: Think about the results of your problem solving matrix. Did the solution you liked the best score the highest? Could you sell your solution to someone else? Are you satisfied with the criteria you chose? Register your thoughts at the Minequest Lobby.
Moving on ...
Check to see that you have turned in any work that your teacher requires for evaluation or to earn a class grade.
