Meet with other leaders early, and share ideas, questions, and suggestions for the discussion. Come up with a plan to use the entire 50 minutes, and make sure each leader understands the plan. Think about how the format of the discussion can be varied to keep people interested and involved. Breaking into small groups for part of the time is often helpful. While you will want to develop specific opening, transitional, and closing comments, remember to keep it reasonably brief.
Creativity is encouraged, but remember to keep the major focus on the assigned text.
Feel free to ask questions that talk about contemporary issues or questions, but keep the major focus on the assigned text. It is essential that the leadership of the discussion is shared by all group members. It should be obvious that all members have studied the text and helped to develop the questions. If it is not the grade of the whole group will suffer. Your group grade will be recorded on this agenda.
