10/30: a good moment

...in an awkward day:  I was at a faculty book discussion, and the person leading the discussion had us brainstorm under the categories thoughts, questions, and epiphanies.  I mentioned that in children's literature people sometimes do something similar to get children talking about what they read by using the categories patterns, puzzles, and surprises.  One of the other faculty at the meeting was interested by that because his son is reading but not necessarily processing what he's reading, and these categories might generate good discussions with him.
