A couple of thoughts on format – with 30 + participants consider 5 breakout rooms of 6 people each with specific topics to discuss and then have each report back to the whole group 2-3 highlights along with whole group dialogue.
6:45 Open the zoom site 15 minutes early for tech check and informal chats
7:00 Welcome and session overview 5 min (chart to share)
7:05 Break outs – introduction of participants 3 min
7:08 Assigned breakout leaders guide discussion on sections of the session (or all on the same topic) 10 min
7:18 stretch break 5 min (groups can run over 2 min)
7:23 Reports back to big group 3 min plus 7 min dialogue (5 groups x 10 = 50 min)
8:13 Closing and next meeting date and time – 5 min
8:18 Total time = 78 min = one hour and 18 min (More or less 😊)
– just saying - chunks of time, with serious small groups to enable more voices…
With 30+ people, very hard to do in one hour - Just a draft – other thoughts? / Sherwood

Cynthia commented: I am interested. When does it start? and at what time. Will we be discussing the chapters in order and will the first study be chapter 1?
We are planning to start January 4 at 7-8 pm Central Standard Time (Chicago time) We will probably use Zoom as a way to connect.
We now have 30 folks interested in this. David Rebstock and I are thinking to have 12 sessions -- an intro and conclusion and then 1 on each of the ten lessons. The first session, January 4 will likely be getting organized and looking at the chart and getting volunteers to cover each of the chapters and the best way to handle that number of people. (several smaller groups?) We will be looking for folks with higher Zoom expertise and wisdom about how this can go well.
We are talking again on this Tuesday.
Any wisdom on how to do this is welcome!!

Interested. Still a bit of a newbie. Will probably give it a try as a silent partner. Remember the character Zero?
We love the Final Reality because the Final Reality loved us first.
Terry (tm04@txstate.edu) and I would like to join the study. Thank you--Diann McCabe
Please add me to the list.
Excerpt from the attached review: "Oh, no, not a book about the pandemic just a few months into Covid-19. Not another series of snapshots overtaken by tomorrow’s events. Fareed Zakaria, a CNN host with a Ph.D. from Harvard, does not fall into this trap.
Wisely, he stays away from the daily battles over masks and lockdowns. Nor is doom-mongering his business. Instead “Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World” employs a wide lens, drawing on governance, economics and culture. Call it “applied history.” What insights does it offer during a catastrophe that evokes the Spanish flu after World War I, which claimed 50 million — some reckon 100 million — lives?"
We are planning to start January 4 at 7-8 pm Central Standard Time (Chicago time) We will probably use Zoom as a way to connect.
Send word if you are interested.
