Roles: Timekeeper/facilitator
The process is designed to build on each other’s thinking, and not to enter into a dialogue
Groups of 4
Choose a timekeeper (who also participates)
Each participant silently identifies what s/he considers to be the most significant idea addressed in the article, and writes down that passage

34. Save the Last Word for Me
The three participants each have 1 minute to respond to the passage – saying what it makes them think about, what questions it raises for them, etc
The first participant then has 3 minutes to state why s/he chose that part of the article and to respond to – or build on – what s/he heard from his/her colleagues
The same pattern is followed until all four members of the group have has a chance to be the presenter and to have “the last word”
