What is required before coming to the discussion? Check all the correct answers. (Hint - There are three.)

• Have questions, thoughts, and ideas written down.

• Be caught up on reading so you can write questions, thoughts, and ideas.

• Hurry and copy the same questions as your desk partner or someone in the class because it's okay for YOU to cheat and so what if you completely lose Mrs. Curtis's respect.

• Have your letter of appeal written so that you have ideas about what could or couldn't be appealed.

During the discussion you should be...

• Listening carefully and taking notes on what you might comment on/evidence you could use.

• Eye flirting with someone across the circle from you because Mrs. Curtis obviously created this activity to help you find a date.

• Not really listening and instead coming up with the perfect and absolutely devastating comeback to show that person just how wrong they really are.

• Daydreaming or doodling or trying to play on your smartwatch without anyone noticing when really we all know what you are doing because only weirdos sit and fiddle with their wrist while smiling.
