Arrange the chairs in a circle and (if you feel it is required) have an item (such as bean bag a 
ball) that is used to denote who is speaking. Place stimulus material around the room for 
students to view. 
How does it work? 
Introduce the topic and the process. Students begin by having a few minutes to 
look at some of the stimulus material. On returning to the circle they are given 1-2 minutes to 
think of questions related to the topic/stimulus they would like answered. These are shared 
and a vote is taken on which question to discuss. 
Teacher acts as facilitator – reframing questions as required, posing development questions or 
mediating the group to ensure all can participate.

and repeats the process. This way, four answers are synthesised into one
.
