Marie Dimelow has faithfully led the Junior Great Books Program here at St. Vincent de Paul for many years and is ready to pass it on to another dedicated volunteer.
WHAT IS JUNIOR GREAT BOOKS?
Junior Great Books is an extracurricular program where students in the 5th through 8th grades read and discuss classic works of literature with their peers from neighboring Catholic schools. SVDP meets with students from Good Shepherd and Christ the King. The program is specifically designed both in content and technique, to challenge intellectually gifted students.There are no grades, no credits or exams in this program. Junior Great Books is neither a literary club nor a book report clinic. It is an activity that provides a forum for the participants to learn to think for themselves, to learn to express their ideas, to truly listen to their fellow participants so that the students can challenge each other’s ideas and defend their own.The adult leaders in the group are catalysts for the discussion. They are trained in the Socratic method of questioning. They are NOT teachers. They are guides who will ask questions that will encourage the participants to think about what they have read and offer their own opinions about what happens in the story and how it relates to our world today.Being the JGB coordinator for SVDP means: planning and coordinating with Good Shepherd and Christ the King schools, organizing the books distribution, recruiting and teaching new leaders and communicating with parents and teachers. Anyone who is interested could reach Marie Dimelow (pommetts@yahoo.fr)
