The facilitator will get paid for the entire discussion time and preparation time. There will be 10 pairs of Mothers and Daughters. They will have to sign up for the program but it would be no charge. The program will run September through June and if a consensus and enough people want to meet through the summer there will be summer sessions. Choose the best time and day or night. Early evening between 7-8 p.m. might work best for working parents.

Pairs will sign in and make theme appropriate nametags. The facilitator will lead the first session but after that, each daughter and mother will take the lead for the discussion for each consecutive month. This will give every girl a chance to lead at least one book discussion a year.

The girls and mothers will have a choice on how to best discuss the book. Some could make a game of the book. They could make a game board with markers that are appropriate to the story and they could travel around the board landing on spaces that have something to do with the book. Discussion or factual questions could be asked at certain points in the game. The first one to the end of the board wins.

Or there could be an art project attached to the discussion and the girls could discuss the book as they do a thematic project. We could make a diary for the book Princess Diaries.

Others just ask discussion questions that are similar to the type asked in the Junior Great Book program. These questions have more than one right answer to them and these questions keep the discussion going very well. They are not evaluative questions, which ask us to decide whether we agree with the author's ideas or point of view. The answer to an evaluative question depends on one's own knowledge, experience and values, as well as on our own interpretation of the work. Nor are they factual questions. They are called interpretive questions. These are questions that have more than one answer that can be supported with evidence from the text.
