FINALE RECAP
On Tuesday, April 5th, 2022, The Big Read Steering Committee led small group discussions at FMHS, from 6:30-8pm. The discussions were generated by the participants' questions and input. See below for more details about how we spent our last evening together... for now!
The Meta Moment
Many of our smaller discussions started with a discussion of the "meta-moment", as described in Part II of Permission to Feel. The meta moment can be described as "as a way to pause to picture our best selves and respond accordingly" when something triggers us, emotionally. We can take a step back and pause, before reacting. For more on the meta-moment, here's a short video from Marc Brackett.
Discussion Questions and Handouts
Based on suggested questions and discussion points, we randomly chose questions out of the basket to discuss in our small groups. Below you will find the full list of discussion questions, so you can get an idea of where some of the conversations went, and you will also find copies of the handouts we gave each participant on their way out the door.
