Lesson five Strengthing club work

Let’s work on our making our clubs stronger! Conversation is a journey What if we went on a journey and took the same route, all the time? We would pass the same trees, signs, and rocks. It would be very boring! This is the same with conversations! If you keep talking about the same things over and over, your conversations are going to get boring! A good conversation should leave you feeling that your club has raised some new ideas and questions and that you are leaving thinking differently about an issue than you did when you came to the conversation.

(“Or could it be…?” or “But what about…?”) Say what the conversation is making you realize/think that is new. (“This conversation is making me start to realize…”)
