Microlabs (aka Triads)- Procedure

Microlabs is a discussion activity designed to maximize equal participation in conversation among students on nearly any topic. After the teacher provides an overview and instructions, students engage in three rounds of highly structured conversation in response to a series of questions. Students receive an equal amount of time, uninterrupted, to answer each question.
