Here is the essence of how this procedure works:


 * Think--Pair--Share**

1. You either read some material or think of an answer to a question I pose to our class.

3. One of you can then share your response with our whole class.


 * Think--Pair--Share--Square**

A variation of the above is to square (in groups of four) to further discuss your responses before you share with the entire class.
