Step up to the mic at the right time

In a circle facilitated by Emma, Ana needs to jump in after other speakers and add something to Grace's point, and learns to ask to contribute to the topic and build on what the other person said. Say the square works because people can see each other from the benches, thank you Grace anyone else, could I add something to that, go ahead Ana, building on what Grace said the sign only works for the same reason, which reason, you can see it from where people already are, from the benches, from the benches from the door from the chair, that's two points that are really one.
