Imagine you are the management of a private university. You have to decide 10 rules for your university that will be popular both with students and with their parents.
Compare with someone from another group and decide which two rules you will change.
Take turns pretending to be a future student or parent of a future student and ask another group about their rules, including rules which changes in the previous stage. Decide if you want to go or want your child to go to that university and tell the class why.
