“A Great Books discussion encourages students to form opinions, but then requires them to justify and expand their point of view. At the same time, they’re learning that other people’s opinions are worth hearing, and that what they learn by listening and delving deeper into a text challenges their thinking and helps them develop initial responses into sophisticated theories.” —Kim Lanese, Assistant Principal Norterra Canyon School Phoenix, Arizona
