- You can agree, build upon or challenge ideas to develop better communication between you and peers.

Common misconception
Students may not realise the importance of listening in discussions, as they may be thinking about what they have to say next.
Explain the importance of listening. Model a discussion with a pupil where you are not listening, ask them how it made them feel and ask the class how it affected the quality of the discussion.
