DESCRIPTION

Students work together in groups of three.

The SPEAKER explains the topic (or expresses their opinion on an issue) as directed by the teacher.

The QUESTIONER listens carefully and asks for clarification or further detail.

The NOTE-TAKER observes this process and provides feedback to both "speaker" and "questioner".

A "numbered heads" approach can be used to allocate roles - and these roles can be rotated (either now or subsequently).


OUTCOMES

This activity helps to develop speaking and listening skills and raises students' awareness of what constitutes both a clear explanation and active listening.
