Kudos today for the leading roles played in book clubs by Riya, Maddy, Emma, and Caroline.
Points to consider for tomorrow's conversation:
  • Quote the salient point/repeat other people's ideas
  • Accept and reject ideas
  • Offer your opinion through questions
  • Make personal connections / show empathy
  • Summarize take-aways if possible as the conversation develops
  • Use GC terminology

In my opinion
Ask a question

  16. Mr. Buxton, I'm changing my setting from Hawaii to a fantasy place called Resurrection Bay. I wanted it to be in an island so I made in the Pacific about 100 miles away from Japan. Is that better because the place gets contaminated.
