Welcome to your second-to-last fishbowl discussion! By this time, you should be doing the following:

1. Incorporating quotes into at least one of your responses, but preferrably more.

2. Responding thoroughly and frequently from the beginning of the discussion to the end.

3. Considering jumping into a hotseat.

Enjoy!

Last Tuesday's fishbowl was an improvement--keep going! Think still about jumping into a hotseat, strengthening your comments with direct quotes, and remaining constantly engaged in the online conversation.

Welcome to your fourth fishbowl!

Much like last week, I'd like you to pick up the pace and challenge yourself a bit on the outer circle. What kind of challenges should we take on, you ask?

Try these:

Challenge #1: Bring a quotation from the reading into at least one of your posts.

Challenge #2: Get into a hotseat, if only for a brief moment.

Challenge #3: Try to offer a few more comments; as a class, we should be averaging around 80-100 comments per discussion (right now, we're averaging around 50).

Welcome to your third fishbowl!

At this point, you should be picking up the pace and challenging yourself a bit on the outer circle. What kind of challenges should we take on, you ask? Try these:

Challenge #1: Bring a quotation from the reading into at least one of your posts.
Challenge #2: Get into a hotseat, if only for a brief moment.
Challenge #3: Try to offer a few more comments; your typing should sound like rapid fire.

Keep up your strong work! Remember to comment consistently throughout the discussion, and since part of your job is listening, there should be NO TALKING ON THE OUTER CIRCLE.

Enjoy, and show me your understanding of last night's reading. Challenge the text! Challenge each other!
