Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.90 Discussion Norms & Roles skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

After several weeks, your group wants a single plan that combines goals, roles, and norms so discussions improve in a measurable way.

Which plan is the strongest?

ATalk without a plan and hope it improves

BSet a specific goal for each meeting, rotate roles weekly, use a queue for turn-taking, and end with a brief reflection on which norms were followed

CKeep the same roles forever and avoid reflection

DOnly focus on finishing fast, even if not everyone speaks

Solution & Explanation:This plan connects all parts of strong discussion: clear goals, shared responsibility, structured turn-taking, and reflection for improvement.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

At the end of a discussion, the group checks whether they met their goal: "Decide on one claim and choose two pieces of evidence." They have a page of notes.

Which evidence best shows they met the goal?

AA drawing of the main character

BA list of people's favorite scenes

CA tally of who spoke the most

DA written claim plus two quoted or described text details labeled as evidence

Solution & Explanation:The goal requires a claim and evidence; the correct notes show both clearly.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

During a disagreement, voices get tense. One student says, "This is getting personal." The facilitator wants to calm the group and return to norms without shutting down the discussion.

Which facilitator statement is best?

A"Everyone calm down right now."

B"If you can't agree, you're all failing."

C"I can tell this matters to us. Let's slow down, take turns, and focus on reasons and evidence for our ideas."

D"Let's stop talking and never disagree again."

Solution & Explanation:The best statement acknowledges feelings, then clearly redirects to turn-taking and evidence-based discussion norms.
