Chapter 10 - Energizing the Verbal Environment

First steps:

1. Read Chapter 10
2. Implement one of the strategies from "Your Turn" on p. 181
3. Record (video, audio, or photograph) the process and/or results

Then, meet with a colleague to debrief.  During this session, be sure to share the recorded media with that person.  Post here by 05/10/17 about what you learned from this process.

Come to our last meeting on May 16th prepared to share your audio and/or visual results and share briefly (3-5 minutes total) with the group.
