Circle within a Circle:
-half of your students form a circle with the students facing out and their backs facing into the circle (This is the inside circle)
- Then the other half of the class make a bigger (the outside circle) facing their classmates who formed the inside circle
-Whoever they are standing across is their partner,
-The teacher will pose a question
Option 1: The teacher can say the inside circle will talk first and the outside circle will listen only then the outside circle will have a chance to respond while the inside partner listens.
Option 2: Let the partners talk freely responding to the question remind students to use a whisper voice
-Then the teacher will pick one of the circles (either the outside or inside circle) to rotate one person and now they have a new partner to discuss the same question or a different question
