Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions and carry out assigned roles.c. Pose and respond to specific questions to clarify or follow up on information, and make comments that contribute to the discussion and link to the remarks of others.d. Review the key ideas expressed and explain their own ideas and understanding in light of the discussion.
