  12. Choose a Principle Which partnership principle do you think your conversation best illustrates? Why? Read the section of Chapter 3 that goes into detail about that principle. Talk to your friend sitting with you. Share your written conversation and comments. Ask questions of each other. Write a good summarizing statement for your principle. Include a direct quote from text.
