Microlabs/Triads Activity

Microlabs, or Triads, sets up a controlled environment for students to express their opinions about a subject. In groups of three and over three rounds, students respond to questions (one question per round) and then listen to their classmaters' responses. Microlabs is intended to give uninterrupted space to students as they answer the questions, and for classmates to listen carefully to their peers' resopnses without judgment, interruption, or rebuttal.
