9.  Building

Responses to first words are invited from other members of the group.  It is important that all members of the group are given the chance to express their opinions, views and feelings about the question in an orderly manner.  These are very important skills, developed over time.  People must listen to others and consider their views respectfully.  A time to revisit the ground-rules if necessary!

10.  Final words

Some time is given for private reflection at the end of the discussion.  After a few  minutes each person can share their final thoughts if they choose.  This can be by going around the circle and speaking or by writing something down or drawing, which can be compared to first thoughts before the discussion.
