Group Discussion Leader:
The Discussion Leaders job is to prepare several questions to start
the discussion, keep the discussion lively, and make sure each group
member participates in the discussion. Usually the best discussion
questions come from your own thoughts, feelings, and questions as
you read. Either as you read or when you have finished reading todays
assignment, list some of your questions below. You may also use some
of the general questions listed on the bottom of this page.
Possible discussion questions or topics for today:
1. Pros and Cons of deviating from rules and expectations?
2. What parallels do you see between Tootle and some of the students
we have in the classroom?
3. In what ways does society keep people on the tracks?
4. Does this story hold the same meaning now as it did then?
5. What could have been different about expectations or Tootles
support system that could have made him stay on track?
