HSC focus groups (1 Viewer)

[aussie-boy]

so ive been contemplating initiating a program of group discussions (10-15 ppl) at school on various topics (especially individual english texts) - the idea would be to get the intellectuals to share some of their insights with the less skilled people.... does anyone think this would work?

if so, what do you guys reckon the structure of each session (1-2hrs?) should be - personally, i would suggest just looking at questions and discussing arguments and approaches, but everyone struggles with different things so im looking for lots of perspectives

I think this can work if the intellectuals are helpful enough.

People.

Anything more than 5 people get distracted and shiz.

i believe you should go through the structure of the essays and shit first.
then touch a review of the plot. techniques, quotes, themes.

do each section differently, as you've all read the book/poem/whatever already so it's better to be specific than cover the book/poem/whatever as a whole.

Definitely try it. If the smart people are smart then they'll want to boost everyone below them for externals.
