- Group your things in order to find an answer to a question.
- Start by picking one thing and looking for other things that are similar.
- For each thing, ask yourself whether it seems to belong to a group you already have or if it should be used to start a new group.
- All of your things must belong to a group. You might need to regroup some of the things to do this. Sometimes you might have something that is a group of one.
- Don't worry about identifying what makes a group a group. Just group things that seem to go together.
- Each way you group your things shows you a different meaningful relationship.
The next step in the process of making a good conclusion is to identify how the things in each group are similar.
