Fish Bowl

A discussion technique, similar to Socratic circle, but the inside circle always has one empty seat that a member from the outside circle can sit in if they have something they would like to add to the discussion. When a person sits in the empty seat, a member from the inner circle must join the outside circle to leave one empty seat in the inner circle.

I like this form of discussion because it gets the students moving, and allows every student to say what they want if they have a good point to raise even if they are not in the inner circle.

Example with explanation:
