 * ENCOURAGER: Student will focus on the public speaking skills of the SPEAKER and identify what their classmate has done well.
 * IMPROVER: Student will focus on the public speaking skills of the SPEAKER and identify what their classmate could and should improve.
 * NOTE TAKER: Student will focus on the content of the SPEAKER and take notes on the content.

Once students have finished discussing the topic the first speaker has chosen, the roles will move one student over to the right and all students should have a new role. Complete this process until all four students have been assigned all four roles.
