🧠 Affinity Mapping Economic Insights

Students review interview transcripts and quotes from at least two school community members, then cluster key statements on sticky notes or a digital whiteboard (e.g., Miro/Jamboard). They label emerging themes connected to scarcity (land, labor, capital), market structure, business cycle impacts, and globalization. As a class, we model how to distinguish surface comments from deeper economic patterns and identify surprising tensions or misconceptions.
