A pre-service teacher at an Alice Springs primary school uses a class reflection session with students to enable them to clarify and discuss their learning goals. Initially she uses a learning circle, where individuals can speak about their goals as well as listening to the goals of others. After reinforcing class rules for group interactions, she sets students the task of responding to set questions about goals in random groups. The teacher supports the group activity through strategic questioning. Each of the activities in the session is designed by the teacher to improve the students' capacity to listen attentively, participate, and work effectively in groups
