VISUAL RANKING TOOL

A learning system that promotes a higher-order thinking pattern in which students can learn and organize data

OVERVIEW

• Overview: The Visual Ranking Tool brings focus to the thinking behind making ordered lists. Students identify and refine criteria as they assign order or ranking to a list. Items in the list may be represented by images. Students must explain their reasoning and can compare their work with each other in a visual diagram. This tool supports activities where students need to organize ideas, debate differences, and reach consensus.
