Discussion order
Setting the order of discussion makes it easier to focus on the conversation.
1.
Each person shares a one-line impression of the book.
2.
Talk through the questions in the order of the question table.
3.
Each person leaves one memorable sentence.
When interpretations differ, ask why someone read it that way rather than who is right.
