Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.16 Voting and Consensus in Class skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which approach matches the situation best?

APick the first idea mentioned (no discussion).

BUse a quick vote—a quick digital poll—and go with the option that gets the most votes.

CUse the teacher's favorite suggestion heard (no discussion).

DWork for consensus: listen to every viewpoint and combine ideas until the whole class supports the decision.

Solution & Explanation:This is a long-term rule/policy that shapes fairness, trust, or rights for the semester. Consensus is strongest for implementation: students raise concerns, revise the plan, and reach an agreement that everyone can support, making the policy more legitimate and more likely to be followed.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which method should the class use to decide?

AGo with the last idea mentioned (no discussion).

BSelect the most colorful option listed (no discussion).

CChoose consensus: build a plan that everyone can commit to carrying out.

DUse a fair vote—a two-minute vote with raised fingers—and go with the option that gets the most votes.

Solution & Explanation:This is a long-term rule/policy that shapes fairness, trust, or rights for each unit. Consensus is strongest for implementation: students raise concerns, revise the plan, and reach an agreement that everyone can support, making the policy more legitimate and more likely to be followed.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

What is the best way for the class to make this decision?

AChoose the shortest option listed (no discussion).

BSelect the last suggestion heard (no discussion).

CUse a majority-rule vote—a colored-card vote—and go with the option that gets the most votes.

DReach consensus: use respectful dialogue to reach a decision that everyone supports.

Solution & Explanation:The choice does not create a long-term rule; it selects one option from several acceptable ones. A vote is appropriate because it produces a legitimate decision efficiently (one person, one vote) while the class can still respect the minority by acknowledging their preferences.
