Description: Shows how a high school class and the teacher work through the process of defining a problem for examination and discussion and seek out resources that provide information relevant to the problem. The class selects the problem, "What should be done about pressure groups?" they then list a number of sub-question, proceed to collect information from a variety of sources, and discuss the different viewpoints that are discovered. A local situation in the city provides a concrete example of the action of pressure groups to affect the mayor's decision on a particular question.
