I think this phrase is so great! I hope it doesn't lose it's meaningfulness too soon as I have found that at least for my students of late, this simple phrase seems to "turn on the lightbulb" for them in regards to shifting their responses from more monologue responses (where there is little attention to the original writer) to an invitation to start a dialogue about the ideas expressed in each others' reflective entries.
It is this dialogic stance that is so pivotal as it is when students are in this state that they truly enter that "rhetorical space" which allows them to construct or co-construct new knowledge together.
