Chapter 13

Nominating Questions

When moving from small- to large-group discussions it's sometimes difficult to decide what should be the focus of the large-group discussion. Nominating Questions addresses this concern by inviting participants to vote for which question or questions will be the focus for whole-group exploration.

Purposes

To give participants control over the focus of large-group discussion
To provide small groups practice in developing engaging questions for large-group discussion
To avoid the loss of energy that sometimes afflicts reporting back to a group
To ensure an organic connection between small- and large-group discussions
