Shared Inquiry Discussions are focused on an interpretive issue as it is expressed by an Interpretive Question. But where does the Interpretive Question come from?
Effective Interpretive Questions express your curiosity about the meaning of the story.

Junior Great Books publications and training programs help you learn to develop great Interpretive Questions. Find out more ...

Teacher Editions and Leader Guides
Teacher Editions and Leader Guides have lists of suggested
Interpretive Questions for every selection in the Junior Great Books
programs.
Pick the question that you and your students find most interesting.
Note: You may need more than one question to adequately discuss the
story. It?s impossible to tell exactly how long discussion on any one question will go. A good rule of thumb is to have one question for every ten minutes you expect to discuss. Younger students may need more, older students may not need as many.
