1.     Students on the inside of the circle are the only ones who can talk.
2.     Students on the outside circle will only take notes on the conversation, they are not to say anything

·         Say: “We are going to start our seminar with the Roles of Women #1 article, the Global Connections article, so the people who have the Global Connections article in front of them need to move to the center circle while the people on the outside of the circle are silently filling in their chart.”
·         Say: “Remember that the students in the middle of the circle are the only ones who can speak, the rest of you are silently filling in your chart.”
·         Say: “ Ok now were going to switch to the Roles of Women #2, the counter currents article, so the Roles of Women #1 article need to retake their seats at the outside circle and the Roles of Women #2 people need to move to the center circle, remember the students in the middle are the only ones who can talk, the rest of you are silently filling in your chart.”
·         Say:  “Ok now were going to do our final switch to Women’s Voices, the NPR article. So the Roles of Women #2 people need to retake their seats and the South Women’s Voices people need to move to the center circle, remember the students in the middle are the only ones who can talk, the rest of you are silently filling in your chart as they discuss.”
