In your small groups, focus on each of the bullet points, above, and then make a list of words that you would choose to describe each of the five aspects of the discussion you witnessed on film. Try to identify the positive aspects, remembering that it is always easy to be negative. It takes a wise person to notice the positive elements and see how they can provide a foundation for further development.

(Perhaps you would like to write your selection of words on an OHT for presentation in the follow-up discussion. You do not have to agree with each other on your choice of words, for it is important that everyone’s viewpoint can be represented.)

Each small group can now report back to the whole group on the words they chose. As you listen, notice any descriptive words that you feel are particularly interesting or surprising and raise these for further debate.
