Activity 1: Selling It (Classification and Division)

Directions: Visit an online bookstore like Powell's and browse through the categories of books. Or visit Amazon and browse through the categories of music. Then design your own site selling something similar (you can be as creative as you like.) Provide at least five different categories for your "product" and explain what distinguishes each one.

Activity 2: Dividing the World into Types

Directions: There's a form of joke that starts, "There are just two types of people in the world. . . ." Here's an example: "There are just two types of people in the world: those who divide the world in two, and those who don't." Make up your own division and provide specific examples to illustrate your points.
