Extension: If the note taking/circle chart is made on a paper and can be collected, these can be used to demonstrate overlap across the LfL principles using a Venn diagram schematic that the instructor/course leader can prepare. This concept could also be explored directly with the group by way of the instructor drawing the 5 overlapping circles (LfL principles) as a visual on a blackboard/whiteboard – indicating unique and shared observations across all 5 LfL principles.

Pedagogy: Debate preceded by Think, Pair, Share.
Firstly, divide group equally and request a representative from one of the two groups who decides whether they would prefer to explore and discuss either the ‘benefits’ or the ‘drawbacks’ as introduced for this practical. 
Each group now undertakes the think, pair, share process.
THINK: Suggest each person works independently for 1 minute and identifies/thinks of 1 -3 responses/contributions. Participants make a mental note of each (or preferably, written down to support recall and reference).
PAIR: In pairs, participants discuss and compare ideas.
SHARE: Each half of the group comes together (the ‘benefits’ group and the ‘drawbacks’ group), with each pair contributing one or two ideas from their discussion with their respective group.
DEBATE: Gain the attention of the two groups by requesting that each identify the top 3 benefits or drawbacks, respectively, that they will share with the whole group in an effort to make a case for their side/position. Give the groups adequate time to agree their top 3 items. Moderate a turn-by-turn-debate about the benefits and drawbacks of observing/reviewing classrooms and schools through a single, combined lens.
Sample responses:  Participants will begin to understand that there are benefits of focussing on one thing (one LfL principle) at a time: ‘You can identify how often or effective a person is at attending to each of the 5 LfL principles”. Participants will also begin to recognize that people, classrooms, and schools are complex, and that the LfL principles don’t naturally occur in isolation of the others. A global view is also an essential component of observing the effects and effectiveness of pedagogical tools/procedures in action.
