Top Tips for great discussions

• "You said, I think..." - after the first person speaks, the next person has to begin each of their points with "You said..." and gives a summary of what the person has just said before adding, "I think...", and gives their own contribution.  This is a simple way of making paired discussions responsive.
• Coaching questions  - use the prompts below to push for deeper thinking in group/family discussions
