About

This wiki is designed to be a supplementary forum for the participants of //Together--Book Talk for Kids and Parents//. The idea behind the program is to foster intergenerational dialogue about books and ideas. Because the audience is spread out among different school districts, we thought it would be good to have an easy way to keep talking about books and ideas both before and after the actual discussion sessions. The "necessity" of the project also came about due to the need to collect context materials for all the books, so that the themes of 'Freedom,' 'Courage,' and 'Being American' have more and broader meaning. Some of these will be physical objects, but a lot will be information found online. We needed a central (and participatory) repository for all the context materials. The wiki's other goal is to allow for a safe space to practice framing questions and articulating ideas about what we're reading.
