1. Read all of the Solution Seeking content provided in Key Information for Topic C.
2. As you read, think about the following questions:
   • What real-life problems occur in your classroom?
   • What issues reoccur so often that you would like to eliminate them forever?
   • What problems are begging to be solved?
   • What irritations, frustrations, or concerns would you be willing to submit to the Solution Seeking Process?

3. List five regularly occurring classroom problems that you would be willing to submit to the Solution Seeking Process. (If you’re not currently in a classroom, apply the process to another group situation.)
4. Respond to the following:
   • Choose one of the five problems to address with your students using the Solution Seeking Process. It should be a problem that is important to you and also one that is the least emotionally charged — one that you could address with your students without generating a lot of strong emotions. Briefly explain the problem.
   • Specify a date and time within the next two weeks to hold your first Solution Seeking Process class meeting.
   • Complete the statement: “I expect the Solution Seeking Process to….”
