Roles that share the air
Four small roles keep a table discussion balanced. The Opener asks the first question. The Tracker keeps a tally of who has spoken. The Steel-manner restates the view they disagree with best. The Closer asks the last question: "What do you think now that you did not before?"
Swap roles each time. Give the quietest person the Tracker's tally — seeing it, everyone tends to make room.
One person has spoken six times and two people not at all. Whose role helps most?
A lesson is kept once you've answered the question and written at least 8 words. Nobody grades it; it stays on this device.
