1.1.
Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a way of gathering ideas about a topic. When people brainstorm them give their ideas freely without editing or evaluation. Criticism is not allowed. All the ideas should be put down whether they are brilliant or silly, relevant or common. The aim is to get as many ideas as possible.
There are three major types of brainstorming. They are: making a list, freewriting, and mapping. Brainstorming is, first of all, a speaking skill, but it involves writing as well to fix the results.
1.2. Brainstorm ideas connected with advantages and disadvantages of major economic systems.
1.3. Brainstorm concepts and symbols of the command economy.
1.4. Brainstorm ideas on the role of banks in economy.

To brainstorm more efficiently, one may use the following prompts:
DEFINE THE PROBLEM or RE-DEFINE IT
1. What is the problem?
2. Why is it indeed a problem?
3. For whom is it a problem?
4. When did it first become a problem?
5. What is the root of the problem?
ASK QUESTIONS
1. What caused X? (replace X with your topic)
2. What can X be compared to?
3. Ask your own questions.
EXPLORE THE EVIDENCE
1. Is this evidence strong?
2. What issues or flaws are associated with this evidence?
3. Why should I not believe this evidence?
IDENTIFY ASSUMPTIONS
1. What is being assumed in this X?
2. What do people take for granted to be true in X?
3. Are these assumptions false?
DO RESEARCH
1. What articles/essays are there about X on the Internet?
2. What insights do articles/books offer?
1.5. Discussion formats: round table and panel discussion
What is the difference between panel discussions and round table meetings?
Have you ever participated in any of the kind?
How many people take part in both?
Panel Discussion is a discussion carried on by a selected group of speakers before an audience. A panel consists of a small group of six or eight persons, who carry on a guided and informal discussion before an audience as if the panel were meeting alone.
There must be a leader who coordinates and directs the discussion.
Round Table meetings are held when a topic is more focused, and where a rapid response is required. This is often indicated by the social or political context and the need for prompt policy guidance in the area.
They both are well-prepared and arranged group discussions. In both cases, there are a number of specific skills (speaking skills, leadership skills, and team work skills) that can help students become better able to contribute effectively to group discussions.
