Keep up your strong work, outer circle! 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: Keep offering as many brilliant comments as you can; as a class, we should be averaging around 80-100 comments per discussion (right now, you're doing great!).

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!
