Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.26 Participation and Deliberation skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student argues, “If we allow students to eat in class, rodents will take over the school.” Which response best addresses this claim respectfully and with evidence?

ALaugh and tell the student they are ridiculous.

BAgree and ban all food anywhere forever.

CAsk for evidence about past pest issues and propose specific, measurable rules (covered snacks, cleanup checks) to reduce risk while discussing the policy.

DIgnore the concern because it sounds dramatic.

Solution & Explanation:The best response avoids ridicule, seeks relevant evidence, and proposes practical safeguards—turning a dramatic claim into a workable, evidence-based discussion.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A local group is debating whether to install a new playground surface. Option A: cheaper, needs replacement sooner. Option B: more expensive, lasts longer. They also want to reduce injuries. Which analysis best shows evidence-based decision-making?

AChoose the cheapest option because budgets always beat safety.

BCompare total cost over time (including replacement) and review injury data or safety ratings for each surface before choosing.

CChoose the most expensive option because price guarantees safety.

DChoose based on which color looks nicer.

Solution & Explanation:A sound decision considers long-term costs and safety evidence, not just initial price or appearance.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

During deliberation about a school dance policy, a student suggests: “Let’s just do what we did last year.” However, last year there were 6 discipline incidents and 20 students left early due to overcrowding. Which response best demonstrates evidence-based improvement?

AUse last year’s incident and crowding data to identify what to change (capacity limits, supervision plan) rather than repeating the same plan automatically.

BRepeat last year’s plan because tradition is always best.

CCancel the dance forever because last year had problems.

DIgnore last year’s data because it is in the past.

Solution & Explanation:Past data are evidence. Using them to adjust capacity and supervision improves decision-making instead of blindly repeating or overreacting.
