Introduction

[Describe how important it is to be able to distinguish among these things, to identify which is best or most appropriate for a given situation. State that this evaluation requires looking at these things from multiple perspectives, all of which must be taken into account. This exercise will teach you how to look at things through several lenses at once.]

Task

[Write a brief statement like the following.]

Your task is to work together and agree on which [2] of these [5 things] is the best and which [2] are the worst. Your decision will reflect the consensus of your group's looking at these things from a number of different perspectives.

Process

1. Your instructor will divide you into groups of [2 to 5]. Each of you in the group will be assigned one of the following roles:

[Describe each of the roles/perspectives]

2. Each of of you should look at the following items quietly from your single perspective. Write down what you like and don't like about each one from that perspective. Make notes that are sufficiently detailed that you can explain your position when you get together with the others in your group. Your instructor will keep track so that everyone will finish at the same time.

[provide links to the items here]

3. Now work with you group. Share your opinions about each. Your task is to arrive at consensus that takes each perspective into account.

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.

	Beginning 1	Developing 2	Accomplished 3	Exemplary 4
Ability to Evaluate from a Single Perspective	Items are evaluated vaguely without strong tie to the given perspective	The given perspective is used to make simple distinctions	Multiple distinctions are drawn from the perspective and applied to the items	Complex, nuanced distinctions are derived from the perspectives and applied
Ability to Achieve Consensus Across Perspectives	Group unable to agree	Group arrived at final ranking mechanically without discussion	Group able to agree on most items and resorted to voting on one or two.	Group consensus achieved through reasoned discussion
Stated Objective or Performance	Description of identifiable performance characteristics reflecting a beginning level of performance.	Description of identifiable performance characteristics reflecting development and movement toward mastery of performance.	Description of identifiable performance characteristics reflecting mastery of performance.	Description of identifiable performance characteristics reflecting the highest level of performance.
