3.  Thinking time (private reflection)

Allow some silent time for thinking, investigating thoughts and feelings in response to the

stimulus and for processing confusions or reactions. This stage may be recorded in notes,

pictures concept maps etc or may just remain in people’s minds. A ‘First thoughts’ sheet can

be used.

4.  Conversation (shared reflection)

Talking in groups of 2 or 3, people are invited to share their first thoughts and listen to other perspectives.
