Use statements such as, “I understand what Mackenzie is saying, but…”) Base any opinions on the text Address comments to the group (no side conversations) Be courageous in presenting your own thoughts and reasoning, but be flexible and willing to change your mind in the face of new and compelling evidence If you are an observer, listen, understand, take notes, evaluate.
