Letter 27: Creative Action
I did not know until I read your letter that “What ‘way' you look at a thing is known as Design Thinking”(Professor Dugal). This made me think about “how do we look at things”. Does this impact our ability to think in different ways?

Letter 28: Engagement and construction
When reading this letter, I thought of you use of “Creative solutions”. This class is teaching me how to think in new ways, different ways. I feel that the non-traditional structure has allowed me to be creative in my thought process and how I go about learning.

Letter 29: social networks and new forms of sociality
I really liked your line, “Whole becomes greater than the Sum of its Parts”. Everything becomes connected and the end result will only be greater due to this connection. The fishbowl does allow us to achieve this.

Letter 30: looking at what we’re looking at
As I reflect on my actions within and outside of the fishbowl, I can see the interaction and dynamic. Inside the fishbowl we share, engage create, while outside we do the same but in person. My group and I have grown closer, learning how to cooperate, collaborate and construct new knowledge.

Letter 31: Inter-subjective spaces
Thank you for your letter, I am happy that we are improving as students and are learning to “creating space”. In our groups our words evoke images. These images I can see as I read my classmates work as well as my own. These words evoke images. I am curious to know what people see when they read my words, what images I evoke in them. Perhaps they see me, perhaps if I am talking about my college acceptance they see my big blue letter, I am curious.

Letter 32: facing each other
“If you won’t be leaving digital footprints, you won’t be running with the wolves.” -- Professor Dugal
As I read this line it reminded me of a movie I watched when I was a kid. The movie is called, “dances with wolves”. The word “wolves” evoked the image in my find of this wolf moving in the night around the soldiers bond fire, and as the night grew he slowly disappeared into it.

Letter 33: Just live!
“You are being asked to just live in your fishbowls”-- Dugal. Living life in our fishbowls involves interaction. We interact, communicate, and exchange ideas. We try to create new knowledge through our process. Your letter reminded me of the saying “live life to the fullest”.

Letter 34: Recapping methodology of the fishbowl
“A shift has occurred in our understanding of the meaning of “society” today” -- Professor Dugal. Society to day has shifted, not only in its actions but in the word itself “society”. Today “society” has many meanings and connotations. How we define “society” often is about where we are and whom we are with.

Letter 35:doing conversation
“ I have read the first and only group’s completed work and find it extraordinary and fantastic” --Professor Dugal. Thank you for your feedback about my groups work, I am proud of how far we have come and how we will continue to improve as a group! The idea of working on a metaphor, is fascinating and hope we continue to achieve this.

Letter 36:What is your metaphor?
Thank you for your kind and encouraging comments regarding my groups paper. We strived to create insight, meaning, and understanding within our group and our work. We look forward to continuing our journey.

Letter 37:Reader response theory
“In a digital environment, you are the audience and it is your response that constitutes the market” --Professor Dugal. I found this interesting, I never thought of it is this way. The Reader-response theory is interesting, recognizing “the reader as an active agent who imparts “real existence”. This is very true. When I look through social media I am an active participant what I look at write about and how I perceive it is real and true.

Letter 38:Your Fishbowl is your Youtube channel
After watching “Mr. P.K. Subban”, I believe your prediction is correct. Knowledge into practice can equal success.

Letter 39: self-driven agenda
“Three Men in a Boat is a famous 1889 poem by Jerome K. Jerome. Please google, because we might consider it as a metaphor for our Abstract on Friendship.” -- Professor Dugal
After reading about this poem, I think it would be a great addition to our Abstract on Friendship. I am excited to see the end product.

Letter 40: simulating complex adaptive systems
“Henceforth, you are the Teller and I am the Told”--Dugal.
Teller: one who tells
Told: one whom is told
Our roles have switched. You have taught us how to create new knowledge. We are working with WORDS, creating value in our groups and creating a visual reality. Here we will learn

Letter 41:Morning thoughts: developing a Voice
“It is your Voice that has to be heard, if you want your Action to have an Impact”--Dugal.
We MUST have our voices heard. WORDS are powerful, how we sculpt them together to assign them meaning can create an IMPACT in the world. New ideas, thoughts, knowledge, we must keep going to help the world grow.

Letter 42: Looking forward to reading
“It is the 'materiality of text” -- Dugal.
Materiality is a strange word, but I like it. “Material” means “the matter from which a thing is or can be made”. Here we are making text, shaping it, moving it. Our felt experiences in our papers help us give meaning to words.
