When I can, I definitely enjoy teaching/facilitating discussion. I appreciated the method used by elementary school teachers where I studied, where they would use charts and colored paper with all the important words and concepts to take note.
I have always been an outliner... if that's a thing. I favored enumeration and sorting concepts of the same kind. Mind-mapping, linear relationships and squiggles between concepts have never been daunting.
This weekend, I am engaging in a first: facilitating book study for my church youth group. It's been a while since my last book report, and I consider this a re-training for facilitating a workshop with the use of a guide, which will be an activity I should look forward to in the next few months. I have been part of a book study group in the past, but never as a facilitator. Presuming that all the participants read the book, my job would be easy; but treading the difference between those who have accomplished this and those who have not will make my challenge more daunting.
