Now that you have each come together to discuss your opinions of the revolution, your group should set up some ground rules for how you will discuss the subject.

Below are some general rules to follow in your group meeting. Your group may not choose to adopt all of them. Whatever you do, each member of your group needs to be included so that your group opinion really reflects the group and comes from hearing the opinions of all your members.

Group Discussion Rules:

• No one speaks twice before each person speaks once.
• When you are not given the floor to speak, be listening
• Be respectful of the perspectives and opinions of others
  

Now think about the original question posed:
What is your opinion of the Nicaraguan Sandinista Revolution?

Reflect on this and other questions posed earlier in a new light, now that you have taken on different roles. While you should all think about each of the questions, those who are in the roles listed next to the questions will have particular expertise on the topic.
