Text Based Seminar Guidelines

mz_ess_az — 2025-03-20 19:54:19 UTC

Useful set of ground rules for discussing a text in a collaborative space.

Golden Lines

mz_ess_az — 2025-03-20 19:54:25 UTC

The Strategy:

Golden lines are an opportunity for each reader to share their learning from the text. It allows readers to collaborate and share their own learning and knowledge.

A golden line can be a line from the text that:

•raises questions for you

•confirms what you already believe

•makes you say aha

•conflicts with your beliefs

•causes you to reconsider prior assumptions

We will use this strategy at the beginning of every book study session moving forward - sometimes we will do breakout rooms like we did this evening, sometimes we will use chat.

So come ready with 2 golden lines from the chapter each week!

Golden Lines Padlet

mz_ess_az — 2025-03-20 19:54:32 UTC

Use this padlet each week to share your golden lines - feel free to add them before the session and throughout the week! Make sure to include page numbers so your colleagues can find them. By the end of the book study, we will have a valuable collection of important lines!

Make sure you register for ALL of the sessions!

mz_ess_az — 2025-03-20 19:54:41 UTC

Each session is worth 2 hours of PD. Make sure you register for each session to get the credit.
