Be sure to add your own kicker statement at the end. This is where you ask your own question for others to try and answer about the person. The best questions have no right or wrong answer and are thought provoking. Like, which came first, the chicken or the egg, why?

Your voicethread response will be scored using the following criteria: 1. Did the response stay on topic? 2. Did the response answer the question posed, and include a kicker statement? 3. Was the response easy to understand? (spoken clearly, or typed without grammar errors.)? 4.
