Teachers will have 4-6 open-ended questions prepared that guide students through the intricacies of the topic. Give students some time to prepare questions themselves. Split the class into a small, inner circle group and a big, outer circle group. Inn circle students will have an open dialogue of the topics and state their perspectives while the outer circle observes and takes notes. After each question has been answered have the groups switch roles. To close out the seminar have students spend some individual time with their thoughts before a final class wide reflection.
