Need to Make a Change?
You
are
ready
to
vary
the
format
of
your
class.
You
decide
to
have
a
discussion.
Consider
the
following: 1.
Everyone
needs
to
see
everyone
else
so
room
arrangement
is
critical. 2
In
a
large
group
most
likely
a
few
will
talk
while
the
rest
keep
silent.
If
there
are
fifteen
or
more
in
the
group,
divide
into
groups
of
four.
Lyman
Coleman’s
rule
is,
“Anybody
can
talk
in
a
group
of
four.”
The
dynamic
is
such
that
those
who
might
otherwise
be
silent
will
participate,
and
those
who
would
dominate
are
controlled. 3.
Two
groups
meeting
in
the
same
room
create
a
problem;
each
will
be
distracted
by
the
other
group.
However,
if
three
or
more
groups
are
in
the
room,
the
other
discussions
will
be
background
noise.
The
major
difficulty
will
be
with
those
participants
who
have
a
hearing
deficiency. 4.
Often
discussions
are
an
occasion
to
share
ignorance.
Participants
will
often
remember
only
what
they
said.
Questions
which
encourage
people
to
go
back
to
the
text
will
help
as
will
questions
which
cause
participants
to
consider
their
experiences
in
light
of
the
Scriptures. Robert
