Human Bar Graph:
Like the barometer, but with a graph format (works well with larger groups). Designate values for the bars (Strongly Agree, Agree, Somewhat Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree). Read statements and students line up within the bar that best captures their position, then look around and see where others are. Read a series of statements and have students relocate themselves each time, noting each time where others are. Discuss the patterns during and/or after the activity. What do they reveal about people’s perspectives on the issues/ideas/theories raised? (If you plan to read statements that might make students feel vulnerable, be sure you have built enough trust in the class first.)
