1)  Form teams. Each team should examine the references provided and, based on your research, begin to create a team’s list of criteria for selecting each of the pieces of equipment cited above.
2)  Once all the teams have completed their research, organize a “Carousel” with the help of your instructor. In this Carousel, acquire five pieces of blank poster paper and title each one with the label of a different piece of equipment. For instance, one poster paper is labeled “backpacks”, another “stoves”, etc.
3)  Timed by the instructor, each team should move from one poster to another writing down its suggestions for criteria for the equipment cited at the top of the paper. Build on or add to the suggestions of previous teams. NO CROSSING OUT CRITERIA SUGGESTED BY PREVIOUS TEAM!
4)  Once all teams have commented on all equipment, have first team to comment on each poster return to that poster and distill/clarify/cull the language so the list of criteria is clear to all. Post these clarified lists for viewing, discussion, and common agreement, if possible. Each team must be prepared to support any of its suggestions with references to specific authoritative sources if challenged to defend what the team has written.
