1619: It’s time for our 5th discussion!

We’ll be discussing Chapters 10-12 this Sunday, June 12

Welcome to Week 19! This week, we’re getting ready for our fifth discussion coming up this Sunday, June 12, 2:00 - 3:30 pm PT. We’ll be discussing Chapters 10, 11, and 12.

Reminder: As I noted at our last discussion, I can’t make it this time because I’ll be cheering for my niece as she graduates from college. Do not fret; you will be in very good hands. Fellow Book Clubbers Elise and Telannia (who are also expert facilitators at Article Club) will lead the proceedings.

Here are a few ways to prepare for this Sunday:

• Catch up on Chapters 10-12 if necessary

• For each essay: Identify one topic, question, or passage you’d like to explore

• Reflect on what you learned and why it is meaningful to you

Here’s the plan for this Sunday:

1. You’ll convene all together for a brief introduction. It’ll be short like last time, so you have more time for discussion.

2. Then you’ll break off into your small conversation groups. You’ll have 60-65 minutes to discuss the three essays.

3. At the end of the session, you’ll come back as a whole book club for individual reflection and group celebrations.

The Zoom link is in your calendar invitation. Elise and Telannia will be logging on 10 minutes early. All right, let’s head to next steps.

Next steps

1. If you haven’t RSVPd yet to the calendar invite: Please do!
