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.

First student chooses three things for an ideal life.
