Reporting Preferences and Judgments

Show the five ceramic pieces to at least five people. Show the pieces online or print out a copy. People might be family members, classmates, teachers, neighbors, or friends.

1. Ask each person which vessel he/she likes the most. Then ask each person what s/he likes about the vessel.
2. Next ask each person which vessel he/she thinks is the best and why.

OR

Your teacher may decide to survey the preferences and judgments of your class as a group. S/he may then lead a discussion about why particular vessels appeal to some members of the class and not to others. Your teacher may also ask you and your classmates to decide which piece you think is the best and lead a class discussion to discover the criteria each of you use to reach your judgment.

Report the findings of your survey in at least two of the following ways:

• Raw tallies
• Percentages
• Bar graphs
• Circle Charts
