I used the formation in my language class for pattern drills and higher level thinking conversations ( advanced level ) . The moment i played the pink panther intro ( 10 hours on you tube ), quietly in the background, students became more relaxed, in the flow. Could be any inspiring instrumental in the background, can switch throughout the month / and also use it as a feedback loop throughout the year.

That's a really good kind of variation of the usual debates; something that works more like "from everybody to everybody", which I've always thought it sort of messed up, mainly for shy people, like I was all my teenage long. Really interesting.
Great Job!
