Discussion Area
On Schoology there is a discussion area set up for each "TAPE". Please use these to talk about the book as we go. Help avoid spoilers by posting in the right "Tape" and only talking about what has happened up to that point!
Group Discussion Rules
We have the largest bookclub of FFP-- 80 or so members-- so there should be tonnes and tonnes of discussion!
We need to be conscious that this particular book has a lot of controversial and potentially emotional issues.
Please be polite. Feel free to disagree with your peers' ideas in a respectful way that avoids any personal attacks.
Please consciously consider being supportive, and encouraging online discussion from those who are being particularly quiet. It's important to notice the people around us-- even more so when they are silent.
