Inside-outside circle

Students form two concentric circles and take turns on rotation to face new partners to answer or discuss the teacher’s questions.

[1] This method can be used to gather variety of information, generate new ideas and solve problems.

[2] In the inside-outside circle strategy, the teacher poses a particular question or a problem to the students.

On the teacher’s signal, the students take one step to their left in the outside circle and have another quick discussion with their new partner.

The teacher gives adequate time for the students to take down new ideas and information in their notebooks.
