The instructor and students presented their ideas for the symposium. Of all the topics proposed, students chose to join in the following groups:

The instructor advised all groups that they will need facts and statistics to back up their problem. Make sure the audience knows how this is a problem to them. Each group will need to find at least two acknowledged experts who have recommended a solution. Finally, they will need to present and justify what the group thinks is the best solution.



A handout was distributed on group problem solving.

To Do for Next Class:

Bring five sources for your topic. Students will write a Works Cited page with these sources. Read and know the material in your research for input at the next class discussion. Annotate (mark up important thoughts) in your research.

Read the handout on problem-solving in groups by next Thursday.
