- Read and analyze the problem scenario. Read through again.
- List hypotheses, ideas, or hunches – what are the first things that come to mind? You may need to reread.
- List what is known – what clues are given? What do you already know about the situation or any parts of it? You may need to reread.
- List what is unknown – what are some questions that need answering? Certainly you cannot make a decision without finding out all of the facts.
- List what needs to be done – what kind of research needs to be done? Reread what you’ve done so far, and then assign specific jobs.
- Develop a problem statement – clearly identifying what you are trying to solve (include the problem and all of the players). You’ll want to reread the problem scenario to make sure you are addressing everything that needs to be addresses.
- Gather information and key pieces of evidence – quotes, facts, details, etc. A separate sheet(s) of paper for each will be needed to do your research.
- Discuss finding and come to a consensus. Write a statement about your decision and the reasons why you decided that way – this is where you incorporate your evidence (see next step).
- Workings together, pull out the pieces of evidence which will support your decision. For example, you may want to use a picture, a quote, a newspaper article – be sure to have citation information available.
- Create a presentation. Expect to present for 10 minutes – each person must participate. Be prepared to answer questions about your decision and be able to defend your choices.
- Present.
