Students reopen the driving question by mapping what they already know and still need to learn about CTA fares, food prices, school supplies, and phone plans in Chicago. Using chart paper or a shared Jamboard, the class sorts questions into cost categories, user needs, and trade-off themes, then teams select priority research paths for the phase.
