Procedures
Two Stay Two Stray
1. Students work in group of 4 (it can consist of 5 members in a certain case).
2. Each group has the same topic to discuss in a limited time. Make sure that
everyone in the group understands the solution that the group has come up
with.
3. After finishing the discussion, two members of each group (called “the visitors”)
should move to another group, and the other two (called “the host”) should stay
in their group.
Procedures
4. “The host” members should tell “the visitors” the result of the discussion with
their groups. Here, “the visitors” just need to listen to what “the hosts” say
and they do not have to share what they have discussed with their own group.
5. After finishing listening to what the stay say, “the visitors” should go back to
their home group and tell to the members of their own group what they get
when they visit another group. Then, they have to discuss and compare it with
their own result of discussion until they arrive in one conclusion.
