Concentric Circles

 Students form two circles, one inside circle and one outside circle. Each student on the inside is paired with a student on the outside; they face each other.  Each time there is a rotation share one of the W's from your chart and have your partner answer. Then, repeat with the other person asking a question from their chart. You can ask the same question each time, or you can ask a different one. Students on the outside circle move one space to the right so they are standing in front of a new person when the teacher signals them to do so. 

Closure

What is one thing you learned from the concentric circle discussion?
