Objectives

At the end of this activity, students should be better able to (select as many as apply):

create win-win situations


Activity

Divide the class into groups of 5 or 6.

Distribute the worksheet/assignment to the groups.

Tell the groups they can choose which question(s)/section(s) in the worksheet they want to complete.

Start with any random group - they can choose any question and any number of questions they want to work on (including none).

Them move on to the next group, and to the next.

The final group has no choice but to work on all the remaining questions. However, if the final group is not satisfied with what they have to do, they should say so.

As long as they are not satisfied, all the groups have to do all the questions.

The groups can then negotiate between themselves to exchange questions, take on more, etc. Keep doing this until every single group says they are satisfied with what they have to do OR until 10 minutes have passed since the start of the activity. If no agreement can be reached by that point, all groups now have to answer all questions.


Time Needed for Activity

10 MINUTES


Additional Resources

None


Rationale

Making choices that benefit only themselves might seem desirable in the short term. But in this instance, because there might be undesirable consequences in the end, they have to learn to make choices and negotiate such that others also benefit. This teaches the students the value of win-win situations
