2nd hour Fahrenheit 451 fishbowl #3: February 2, 2017

Good morning!  Great work with last class's outer circle discussion.  Over and over I found myself thinking, "Man these guys are smart!"

Keep up the great work, engaging in a thoughtful last discussion over the end of the book and using your feedback from your last outer circle response to guide you.

Some overall suggestions:

• Be sure you employ good writing skills, using academic vocabulary and carefully proofreading your work.
• Refer back to specific page numbers and panels to contextualize your questions and to defend your claims in response to those questions.
• Aim for at least 3-4 quality posts throughout the course of the discussion.

Happy blogging!
