In this group class, open to anyone, learners will be given opportunities to actively practice critical thinking, listening and speaking skills. Learners will be given a "deep thought" discussion topic to explore. Topics are not revealed before class, but some samples are below: 1. What's the biggest challenge of your generation? 2. Can a person be too empathetic? 3. We make hundreds of decisions daily. Is there such a thing as a "wrong choice?" Each learner may actively participate or actively listen - either is acceptable. Speakers will be allowed to express their ideas without interruption. Learners will actively listen to the featured speaker and respond appropriately during their turn as the speaker. The chat will also be open for other learners to actively comment while the discussion is going on.
