1.The guideline that was new to me was watching how the conversations was like a game of catch. I think we should follow this guide line because it is kind of like a game of catch because each person gets a time to speak and you don't want someone saying every thing like you don't want some one hogging the ball.

2. One guide line i might have neglected would be the one saying you should ask questions for clarification. Nothing bad happened but i think somebody could be talking and somebody was confused so they asked a question but then the person forgot what they were trying to say.

Reflection Questions
1. If you were about to read a book about about an astronaut who went to Venus, what are three or more things you might think about before reading that would activate your schema?
2. If the book said, "The astronaut's helmet began to melt..." what would you imagine the cause was?  Why would his or her helmet be melting?  Use your schema to answer this question.

Answers

1. If i were to read an astronaut book about an astronaut i would think that it wouldn't go good because Venus is a gas planet and they wouldn't survive because it is a gas planet. Another one is it is far and hard to get to. The third one is that you cant go on the planet because it is a gas planet.

2. I would imagine it is melting because it it would be really hot because when you come down from space the space ship can set on fire because of gravity and that could melt the helmet.
