Think–Pair–Share

Reflect, Discuss, and Share Insights

Think–Pair–Share transforms learning into a collaborative process. Learners first reflect individually, then exchange perspectives in pairs or small groups, and finally share key insights with the larger class.

What is the Activity?

The Think–Pair–Share activity engages learners in structured dialogue that deepens understanding and promotes active participation. It follows a three-step process: first, students Think independently about a prompt, developing personal insights; second, they Pair up or work in small groups to discuss their ideas; and finally, they Share their collective findings with the larger class or group.

Customization features such as topic type, time limit, group size, and focus area allow this activity to be adapted across contexts, from organizational issues to global challenges. AI-generated prompts guide each phase, ensuring meaningful reflection and dialogue. Post-activity reflection questions encourage learners to consider new perspectives and apply insights to real-world situations, making the process both interactive and impactful.
