That is essentially how I'm looking to do my lessons. I'm spending my downtime planning a prepping lesson to use this format so at least I'm heading in the right direction. The silences do get to me cos I feel like I've done something wrong, but you're right, they are just thinking and if I jump in and take the satisfaction away from them by not leaving it longer then it's not as enticing.
It can be quite nerve-wracking at first! But as long as they trust you to take their thoughts as a positive bouncing off point for more thoughts (rather than being told they're wrong), they'll relax and help each other with the process of thinking it through.
Good luck!
