Students are divided in subgroups. Each group gets the same problem/case/question, but each group is assigned a different perspective. An example could be a legal case that students analyse from the point of view of the defendant, a lawyer, a prosecutor and a judge.
After each group spends some time working out the problem/case/question, they present their findings to the rest of the class, who then can question/challenge/debate them from their own assigned perspectives. During this discussion, the big picture of the case emerges and can be analysed further.
