The best approach as an active listener would be to write down my idea, raise my hand, and wait for the moderator to call on me. This allows you to express your thoughts without interrupting the current speaker, demonstrates respect for the discussion process, and ensures that you won't forget your idea. It also allows the moderator to manage the flow of conversation effectively.
Imagine that you are having a group discussion. One student has been talking for a long time, and he doesn’t seem to be stopping. You are getting impatient. You want to tell one of your ideas before you forget it.
