Submission Required
Using printed visitor quotes (with simple icons) and student-drawn empathy maps from Phase 1, teams physically sort cards on chart paper into groups that “go together” (e.g., "don’t like bugs," "didn’t know their jobs," "want to help"). Students draw circles around patterns and label each group with a picture + short phrase. The class pauses for a movement break where students act out one visitor feeling (excited, nervous, curious) before returning to identify which patterns show a real need about insects in the park ecosystem.
