This student-centered strategy may be used at the beginning or end of a lesson. We could use it at the beginning of the lesson to bring learners back into the classroom, since they may not have seen us for a few days. The strategy can (re)activate students both intellectually and physically. We could use it to close a lesson too, since students will reflect, and this will help us get a pulse of their learning too. When this strategy was modeled for me in a training, the trainer did not mediate any of the conversations. Instead, we want to let the students do the learning and discreetly listen to them.
