The Art of Hosting Good Conversations Online

To sum up the art of hosting good conversations, it has to do with hosting, obviously. One of the main points that are talked about is what online hosts want to achieve, basically what the host should be doing to making everyone feel good and how the mood should be set. Then there are good online discussions, where you want to make sure there is something to talk about and how everyone should be glad to participate. Next is what a host is, this specifically talks about how the host should act and what the host should know, basically how he/she is in charge and that they should have a reason for people wanting to be there. After that is what a host does and how a host tries to grow, what is said here is basic rules that should be talked about and what your community should be based around.
 Next is the host's behavior, this is one of the most important parts to being a good host. This part is all about you and how you want your community to be. There's a lot to talk about on this part and it's really divided so basically, act in a professional way but don't be a person that won't be liked to talk to, get along with people and make them feel wanted.

My readers speak & today I learned from an author

When discussing each other’s stories, my parter and I noticed that our stories were kind of similar. Yet our stories had very different plots, one was about a dumb kid and one was about motivation. But when we questioned each other, our answers were almost the same.

To read or not to read

The conversation after and during the reading helped me understand the story a little bit more. While reading I didn’t understand what was going on as much. It’s like that book you can read totally fine but you still don’t understand what’s going on.

Investing in me

I don’t really have any plans of fundraising after high school. When it says fundraising I don’t know just gaining money or fun raising in general for something. I guess the best I could say is saving when I have a job. Every check I get I could save some of it. I’ll probably find other ways of fundraising in the future but right now I can only think of a job.
