March 26–April 9: a three-session reading sequence
Use a sequence of sessions to move from close reading, to disagreement, to a synthesis that records unresolved questions.
Session structure
Move from passage to problem.
A reading group becomes more than serial opinion when each session keeps the text, its context, and the group's questions connected.
- 01
Opening
Name one passage that changed or complicated the problem under discussion.
- 02
Close reading
Stay with the wording long enough to distinguish the claim from a familiar paraphrase.
- 03
Synthesis
Record the competing interpretations and choose what deserves another session.
