In telling your neighbour learners are first given a problem to solve. They have a set amount of time to solve the problem. This depends on the problem or task of course. Then learners are given time to think about how they solved the problem. They can do this by drawing/diagram writing or thinking in their heads. This is silent time. Then learners turn to their neighbour and tell them their answer and how they solved the problem.
