67. VALUE LINE (Discussion, Collaboration)
 

Description: This method helps form heterogeneous groups.
 
Application: This process is used when a variety of opinions is needed within a group.
 
Process: Present an issue or topic to the group and ask each member to determine how he feels about the issue (could use a 1-10 scale; 1 being strong agreement, 10 being strong disagreement). Form a rank-ordered line and number the participants from 1 up (from strong agreement to strong disagreement, for example). Structure the groups of four by pulling one person from each end of the value line and two people from the middle of the group. (For example, with 20 students, one group might consist of student number 1, 10, 11, 20.) Tell students to state their positions and to defend them within the group.
