During inside-outside circle1, students either sit or stand facing each other in two concentric circles. Students respond to teacher questions or note-card prompted questions and then rotate to the next partner. In the end of this type of structure, students will have both been teachers and learners of new information. This structure also facilitates peer tutoring and checking for different levels of knowledge acquisition.
