Discussion:Keeping Secrets
You will now participate in a discussion where you will speak with your classmates about the art of keeping secrets.You are not necessarily revealing your secrets to your classmates, but rather thinking about what can happen when you keep them.Let’s take a look at an excerpt from a student’s sample discussion post.

- Have you ever had a secret?
- Are secrets hard to keep?Why or why not?
- Can keeping secrets be a negative experience?
