Great Books 2008 included an author talk by Bruce Coville, and three book discussions (picture book, juvenile fiction, and young adult books). At the first book discussion session this list of “Universal Book Discussion Questions” was distributed. I have shared this with several of my colleagues and they have found it very helpful, so I decided I would post it on the blog in hopes that it may be useful to others. It has given me some good ideas for leading a book discussion.
