Re: [MOSAIC] idea for book study group on poetry.
HI all, Lisa is going to lead with me, hopefully more than one chapter. Leading only means kind of being sure the conversation goes on, moving us along. Anyone else is welcome. I recommend our facilitator group communicate off list as individuals to avoid clogging the list serve. ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE NO ON NEED TO SAY HE/SHE WANTS TO JOIN THE TALK. THAT JUST CREATES WAY TOO MANY EMAILS FOR THE LIST TO FUNCTION. EVERYONE IS WELCOME AND YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL US! LET'S SAVE OUR EMAILS FOR GOOD TALK' about the book as we go. Contact me individually off the list if you have particular questions or would like to join the facilitator group. Remember the plan now is to start the last weekend of January, giving people time to get their books. And even if you're late getting your book there is no reason not to just join in when you do. This is not like school where you get marked absent or tardy - smile.

Re: [MOSAIC] idea for book study group on poetry.
Your ideas are the plan! Sounds good to me. And yes i agree weekend discussions would be better. Once we are all back from holiday break it gets hectic again. Just set a date for the first read and discussion- then let the fun begin!

Just in case it's being held up for some reason, I'm volunteering to facilitate - though very open to giving that wonderful position to anyone else who'd like to do it. Second: I set out a draft/brainstorm plan which is open to discussion. I'm going to recopy it here. Here are a couple of ideas. Welcome your feedback and I can revise! 1. When to start. Thinking the last weekend of January. Gives us enough time to order and read a chapter or two??? Thinking weekends might be a good time to begin each new section discussion as our weeks are pretty filled with working - right??? 2. Pacing. Have to get my book out to see how it is divided but probably a chapter a week or so??? That's roughly. Or is that too fast a pace? 3. I'd be glad to start each week's discussion with my own connections and/or questions. And everyone can just join in. Or we can take turns with who wants to take the lead for different chapters. (I would love that!) let me know if you'd like to do this and we can set up a schedule. 4. My guess is that we'll be using the STRATEGIES as we read to understand. And also think about how using the ideas with kids will tap the strategies. 5. Speaking of strategies, I suggest we might begin by each of us tapping our own SCHEMA of poetry. Why not start by remembering our own early and schooling experience of poetry. The next chapter of that could be our own experiences of poetry since our schooling - has it been the same or different? Between these two chunks of schema, we will have reflected on our experiences and assumptions about poetry as we explore Georgia's book. 6.

Re: [MOSAIC] idea for book study group on poetry.
I might suggest keep the pace brisk. People can respond to an earlier thread as they read. From doing these discussions in the past, interest seems to fade if things go on too long... I might also suggest a little ground rule about making sure the subject line of a particular thread indicates it is part of the book study. Makes it easier for folks to find archived messages later if they want to revisit...

Sounds good to me. I am not familiar with it but would love to work with some poetry.
