This generally spurs a discussion about the difference between wants and needs and whether something that is a want for one person could count as a need for another.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">It is likely that you will not get through the whole list of questions in one session, so you can pick up where you left off in a later philosophy session. This exercise could take a few sessions to get through if you find you are having rich discussions.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><u>Step Three: Ranking Needs<\/u><br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\" \/>Provide students with the following list of needs (make any adjustments you\u2019d like) and a blank numbered list from 1 to 10. Ask them to rank the needs with 1 the most important and 10 the least important.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u2022 Safe shelter<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\" \/>\u2022 Food<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\" \/>\u2022 Education<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\" \/>\u2022 Water<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\" \/>\u2022 Family (it\u2019s helpful to clarify you don\u2019t mean literally having parents since clearly we need to have had parents in order to exist; this is more about having people who love you and help care for you)<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\" \/>\u2022 Friends<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\" \/>\u2022 Clothes<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\" \/>\u2022 Medical Care<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\" \/>\u2022 Pets<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\" \/>\u2022 Ability to pursue projects or interests that help define who you are (depending on the age of the children, you may want to alter the language here; this item is aimed at the sorts of life projects that give life meaning and make it worth living, like working to become a poet or being excellent at sports).<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">It is helpful to have the students work in groups of 4-6 for step three. These allows them to think together and work through any disagreements about the rankings.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">When the groups have finished ranking the needs, pull the class together as one group and ask each group to report what they put first through fifth. This works better than going through their lists one number at a time.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Finally, facilitate a discussion about the differences in the rankings. Why do some groups think food is more important than education? Why did other groups think medical care is most important? After this discussion is over, go through their rankings for sixth through tenth.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">These discussions should lead students (and teachers!) to think more carefully about what constitutes wants and needs, and how to distinguish between the two.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Distinguishing between what we need and what we want is challenging for all of us, children and adults.
