Summary
Put these countries into groups. Then do it again. Then… do it one more time. How does re-re-grouping the same places reveal new patterns and give new insights?
- Students create 2-5(ish) categories of countries using a list that they generate or that you provide. They can use an criteria to form their groups, but no group can be called "other."
- Then they'll start over and re-group those same countries into new categories.
- Then, yes, they'll re-re-group those countries into yet another set of categories.
- Finally, students describe how looking at the same countries from different perspectives gave them some new insight or idea.
