In thinking about where in Colorado you would like to live, there are many factors that play a part in selecting the right place for you. There are a variety of things that determine what is the best for each individual (e.g., population, jobs, housing, cost of living). Consider these factors as you look at the choices for the following four towns in Colorado.
The first step for you will be to vote on the place of your preference. Each person will need to rank order the four towns (Colorado Springs, Denver, Boulder, Limon) from highest (4) to lowest (1).
Please list your preference for the rank ordering of the cities below:
(_____) Boulder
(_____) Colorado Springs
(_____) Denver
(_____) Limon
When everyone has completed their preference, please go to the overhead and write your individual ranking (since everyone has the cities listed in the same order--given above--this should require listing only the digits from each person's preference).
Your small group (3-4 people) task is to determine a first-, second-, third-, and fourth-ranked city for the ENTIRE class. You may use any method that is agreed upon by all of the members of your group. After all of the groups have finished, a spokesperson for each group will present the group's decision to the rest of the class, and explain the method (and reasoning) used to reach the decision--it may be helpful to write a description for each step of your method.
