Inspire Ideas with Great Books<br />

Teachers <strong>and</strong> students are the heart <strong>and</strong> soul of<br />

the Great Books Foundation. Nothing is more<br />

important to us than working closely with educators<br />

to engage young students in reading <strong>and</strong> thinking.<br />

Starting in kindergarten <strong>and</strong> through the early<br />

grades, Junior Great Books ® brings the power of<br />

Shared <strong>Inquiry</strong> to students of all abilities, fueling<br />

their imaginations <strong>and</strong> encouraging them to ask<br />

questions. Through collaboration <strong>and</strong> discussion,<br />

students can share their thoughts <strong>and</strong> opinions<br />

while listening to the ideas of others.<br />

As students advance, we give them an opportunity<br />

to discover <strong>and</strong> explore essential ideas in ethics,<br />

citizenship, <strong>and</strong> world culture. We give them the<br />

skills to think critically about new <strong>and</strong> unfamiliar<br />

points of view as expressed through fiction,<br />

nonfiction, <strong>and</strong> poetry.<br />

Together we seek an active discussion that allows<br />

students <strong>and</strong> teachers to underst<strong>and</strong> the influence<br />

of a wide range of great thinkers <strong>and</strong> writers such<br />

as Martin Luther King Jr. <strong>and</strong> Lois Lowry.<br />

Together we demonstrate through the regular<br />

practice of Junior Great Books, Great Books<br />

Roundtable, <strong>and</strong> Great Books Seminar the ways<br />

in which engagement with literature drives social<br />

<strong>and</strong> emotional development <strong>and</strong> our capacity to<br />

underst<strong>and</strong> the world from different points of view.<br />

The Great Books Foundation was established in<br />

1947 <strong>and</strong> became a leader in educational reform.<br />

Great Books President Joseph Coulson with students<br />

attending the Great Books Summer Program at Stanford.<br />

We continue to lead through our methodology,<br />

books, school collaborations, outreach, <strong>and</strong><br />

community participation.<br />

In schools that invite our books <strong>and</strong> method of<br />

learning, in partnership with the teachers who care so<br />

deeply about their students, we at Great Books st<strong>and</strong><br />

for the importance of talking to students about the<br />

great ideas <strong>and</strong> values of the past <strong>and</strong> their absolute<br />

necessity in shaping the future.<br />

Join us as we continue to inspire great ideas, dialogue,<br />

<strong>and</strong> lives.<br />

Discover the Power of Shared <strong>Inquiry</strong><br />

Improve teaching <strong>and</strong> learning across the curriculum<br />

In Shared <strong>Inquiry</strong>, students—guided by their teacher—explore a text by discussing open-ended questions <strong>and</strong><br />

sharing responses <strong>and</strong> insights. This method of teaching <strong>and</strong> learning helps students learn to think about what<br />

they read, express <strong>and</strong> develop their ideas, <strong>and</strong> learn from one another. Shared <strong>Inquiry</strong> enhances all the basic<br />

language arts skills—reading comprehension, critical thinking, writing, speaking, <strong>and</strong> listening—<strong>and</strong> enables<br />

students to learn more across the curriculum.<br />

Teachers embrace a collaborative approach that<br />

helps them:<br />

• Engage students in higher-level reading, thinking,<br />

<strong>and</strong> discussion<br />

• Monitor <strong>and</strong> support comprehension for students<br />

at all reading levels<br />

• Integrate critical thinking <strong>and</strong> socio-emotional<br />

learning into their curriculum<br />

• Naturally assess students’ progress toward state <strong>and</strong><br />

district learning st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />

Students who participate in Shared <strong>Inquiry</strong> build<br />

proficiency in these key areas:<br />

• Reading for meaning<br />

• Utilizing reading comprehension strategies<br />

• Supporting ideas with text evidence<br />

• Considering different points of view<br />

• Listening to others <strong>and</strong> responding appropriately<br />

• Thoughtfully considering different points of view<br />

• Transferring ideas from discussion to formal<br />

writing<br />

• Contributing to a collaborative, respectful<br />

classroom environment<br />

“Possibly the best PD I’ve ever attended. I loved<br />

the fact that the focus of the training wasn’t<br />

on the curriculum itself but more so on the<br />

Shared <strong>Inquiry</strong> methodology that makes this<br />

curriculum—or any other—come alive! After the<br />

training, I felt better equipped as a teacher <strong>and</strong><br />

more enlightened as a thinker.”<br />

“A Great Books discussion encourages students to form<br />

opinions, but then requires them to justify <strong>and</strong> exp<strong>and</strong><br />

their point of view. At the same time, they’re learning<br />

that other people’s opinions are worth hearing, <strong>and</strong> that<br />

what they learn by listening <strong>and</strong> delving deeper into a text<br />

challenges their thinking <strong>and</strong> helps them develop initial<br />

responses into sophisticated theories.”<br />

After doing a few Great Books Roundtable units, Mr. Fisher has noticed that<br />

some of his students struggle to make notes during the first reading, whereas<br />

others do it comfortably. He uses both the Support <strong>and</strong> Challenge box<br />

suggestions that appear in the Stage 1 First Reading card (card 12 ) to address<br />

his students’ diverse learning needs. Mr. Fisher begins by writing the following<br />

prompts on the board:<br />

Mr. Fisher reads the first two pages of “Props for Faith” aloud with the following interjections.<br />

Great Books Roundtable Road Map • Level 2<br />

Mr. Fisher knows that to keep the students engaged in the reading, it is important to refrain from<br />

interrupting the flow of the story <strong>and</strong> to stop only when students seem to struggle with comprehension.<br />

He reads without interjecting until further into the story, when he notices that no one is marking<br />

questions during a passage rich with interpretive issues (the highlighted passage on pages 33–34).<br />

Morris: The part about her knee socks. The narrator says they<br />

“never stayed up.” That detail helps me see Renate<br />

pretty clearly.<br />

Mr. Fisher: Okay. As we read, you may find it helpful to visualize, or<br />

picture in your mind, what is going on in the story. Try<br />

to imagine sights, smells, sounds, <strong>and</strong> feelings.<br />

(After reading to “. . . had lived half of his five years<br />

without a father” [p. 32].) I’m not sure who this Trudi Mr. Fisher models how to make<br />

Montag person is. I’ll put a question mark here <strong>and</strong> read notes about questions while reading<br />

on to see if she is important to the story.<br />

(Support).<br />

(After reading to “. . . the old Greeks <strong>and</strong> Romans”<br />

[p. 33].) Before we continue, let’s share some of the Mr. Fisher includes students’ notes in<br />

questions we have so far.<br />

the modeling process (Support).<br />

Kurt: I want to know why the narrator tells us why Adolf<br />

Hitler wasn’t mentioned in her class.<br />

Mr. Fisher: Okay, make sure you put a question mark next to that.<br />

James: I put a question mark next to the second paragraph on<br />

page 32. I wonder why the doctors kept Renate for over<br />

a year.<br />

Mr. Fisher: Did anyone mark a place where they agreed or<br />

disagreed with something?<br />

Mary: I did. I marked on page 31 that I agreed with Frau<br />

Brocker. I don’t think the midwife is Renate’s real<br />

mother either.<br />

Mr. Fisher: Let’s continue reading <strong>and</strong> marking questions. If you’ve Mr. Fisher prompts students using the<br />

been marking where you agree or disagree with<br />

multiple-note option to share their<br />

something, continue with that, too.<br />

reactions to the text (Challenge).<br />

Mr. Fisher: (After reading to “But I didn’t mean it . . .” [p. 34].) Did<br />

anyone mark a question on this page? (No response.)<br />

Let’s read it again. (Rereads from “‘Why not?’ I shouted Mr. Fisher pauses to reread a difficult<br />

. . . ” to “ . . . I couldn’t bring out one word” [pp.<br />

passage that students have not marked<br />

33–34].)<br />

(Support).<br />

I have a question. Why does “something hot <strong>and</strong> sad Mr. Fisher shows students how a<br />

<strong>and</strong> mean” rise inside Hanna when she thinks about passage contains opportunities for<br />

Renate playing with Sybille? (Continues reading to the questions by briefly modeling the<br />

end of the page.) Did anyone mark a question this time? questioning process <strong>and</strong> having<br />

Simon: I marked next to “Her limp seemed worse than ever<br />

students follow suit (Support).<br />

before” because I wonder why Hanna thinks this. (A few<br />

more students share their questions.)<br />

Mr. Fisher: Did anyone who has been marking agreement or<br />

is “red, then ashen.” I agree with how Renate reacts to<br />

Hanna. I think I would act that way, too. (Another<br />

student explains a mark of agreement or disagreement.)<br />
