Divide the class into groups. Have each group identify an area
of environmental concern. Have them determine the criteria by
which a given alternative course of action will be judged and
have them list them in order of importance. Next brainstorm to
determine all of the alternatives. In each cell of the chart list
the degree that each alternative fulfils each of the criteria.
In determining the final course of action greater weight will
be given to criteria higher on the chart. Have each group present
their decision-making chart to the whole group for discussion.
