• Explaining by telling how and why
• 
• Helping others - by responding to their needs
• 
• Helping others - to do things for themselves
•

• Finding out what others think - asking for, listening to and making sense of their ideas
• 
• Reflecting on and making use of what has been said
• Being concise - communicating thinking
• 
• Giving reasons for ideas - communicating reasoning
• 
• Allowing everyone to contribute
• Pulling ideas together - sharing, listening, valuing all contributions
