Lupe had a difficult time during her last group discussion. She knew her topic, but she got confused as others were talking, especially when the discussion took an unexpected direction.
If the situation happens again in future group discussions, Lupe should
⊕listen carefully, take notes, and wait to share her ideas at the next discussion.
⊕learn about the ideas others are sharing so that she can find evidence right away.
⊕listen for a connection she can make, collect her thoughts, and speak clearly.
⊕try to finish someone else's thought to see his or her reaction.
