Brainstorming with mutiple people increases your discussion. The discussion can bring new ideas that you haven't thought of yet, and you will be helping other people. Here is an example; this is not the actual conversation, but what I got out of it.
I did not participate in the discussions for either the psychoanalytic groups or the feminist perspectives. I felt like everything that needed to be said was said, but I had a hard time generating my own ideas for comments on the essays that we read. When just with the groups, prior to the actual class discussions, I did participate in giving some insight on the particular essay that was read: I was in a psychoanalytic group with Andrew, Angela, Derek, and Stephen. One of the things I said that was particularly insightful, I thought, at least in helping my understanding of the text, was a connection to a movie called Mr. Brooks in which I was able to better explain the ideas of Freud and his "id/ego/superego" theory. Unfortunately, I cannot remember any one thing that any one person said during the discussion. None of it was fully understandable for me. It's no one's fault but my own, and I recognize that I did not do a sufficient amount of work in terms of notes to be able to get the most out of these discussions. I am capable, I know, and I will try harder to take notes and get the most I can out of the text for next time.
