1. Move from one numbered sign to the next each time the instructor says, “Move.”
At each stop, collect the prescribed data from each group member about the class
he or she attends during the class period indicated on the numbered sign. Record
the data on the worksheet. Request this data from each student at each stop:
• The teacher
• The time the class is held
• The subject
• The grade level
• A course fee directly related to this class (this could be zero)
• Something unique about this class (the student’s grade, number of days the
student is absent, etc.)
You will collect a total of 6 pieces of data at each stop. You will end up with 30 pieces of
data for each student (5 stops x 6 pieces of data = 30 pieces of data). Keep this data for
other lessons. You will use the collected data again.
