1. Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 students.
2. Teacher shows several discussion topics on the slide.

online link).
The spinner or dice is labelled with the following language expressions to state argument
clearly*:

a. Introduce an argument
b. Give a reason
c. Give an example
d. Clarify a point

e. Persuade
4. Based on result, the student must speak using the assigned/shown function related to the
topic.

5. The next student spins the spinner or rolls the dice and continues the discussion using the new
function.
6. Group members take turns spinning and speaking.

7. After everyone in the group has spoken once, repeat the process for a second round or more
with the same group members.

*When using a spinner or dice is not feasible, teachers can directly assign each student a specific
function to perform.
