Mad Tea Etiquette
1) Stay curious, dig deep, have fun
2) Don’t over think answers and discuss with your group. 3 minutes for each
question
3) Using chat, finish each of the open sentences with a short phrase!
4) Don’t hit the return/ enter button until we tell you to, and then we’ll see a
cascade of responses. We’ll take time to read through them at the end.
