Make sure you are comfortable discussion at least ONE of your ideas, because everyone will offer their thoughts. This should take you 5 minutes.

Symbols Discussion Groups 1 and 3 get together Groups 2 and 4 get together Directions: Groups 1 & 2 start in the inner circle, Groups 3 & 4 are in the outer circle. There should be one extra desk in the inner circle. Everyone on the inner circle will take turns discussing a symbol.

You will continue in this manner for 5 minutes. You should speak a minimum of 1 time and a max of 3. After 5 minutes the outer and inner circles will switch and we will repeat the process.
