1. Plan a core question for discussion.
2. Share your experience (2 or 3 minutes). If feasible, share a short audio or video clip to anchor the discussion (~30 seconds).
3. Respond to colleagues questions.
4. Listen while colleagues discuss the issue.
5. Summarize how you are thinking now. What are the implications for your teaching?
What did you do differently to encourage students to listen to each other? Prepare for a 5-minute discussion of your experience. (There may or may not be time for everyone to share experiences in every study group meeting, but preparing to discuss your own experience will contribute to discussion of others’ experiences.)
