Using the Model to Enhance Student Learning
Discussion is meant to happen naturally and students do not need to raise their hands to speak. Each student on the inside is paired with a student on the outside; they face each other. The male superheroes stand up and go to their next date. After sufficient time has passed for the discussion to develop, one or two students from each group rotate to a different group, while the other group members remain where they are.
Once lots of ideas have been generated, have students begin grouping them into similar categories, then label the categories and discuss why the ideas fit within them, how the categories relate to one another, and so on. Students on the outside observe, take notes, or perform some other discussion-related task assigned by the teacher. You can really do it how you want.

Alan is so that his only friend now is his wife. Everyone else has given up on him. If so, what factors have caused this?
