Our Book Club begins today!
This week, in Refuse to Choose! we will read Are You a Scanner?, the Prologue, and Chapter One: All About Scanners. That’s a total of 30 pages. We will also complete two exercises, then reflect on what we’ve learned about Scanners from this chapter.
Chapter 1, Exercise 1: Create Your Scanner Daybook
Chapter 1, Exercise 2: Your Living Quarters Map
What I learned from Chapter 1, All about Scanners

Comments and Subscriptions
Each exercise and each chapter has its own page, and that is where we post our comments about the exercise or the reading. I hope you will post about EACH of the exercises and readings, even if it’s just to say you completed it or had some reason to skip it. When you do this, you give your fellow members a nudge to keep doing the work and encouragement to post their experiences or ask their questions, because they know you are still coming online to read each page. This is really important to the health of your group.
When you leave a comment on any book club page, you have the option to subscribe to future comments posted in reply to yours or all future comments. This is in the little dropdown in the Leave a Reply form for this, as you may have seen when you introduced yourself. I suggest you subscribe to All when you post your first comment on the page. If you choose Replies Only, you will miss any replies to you that someone mistakenly puts in the Leave a Reply form that’s always there instead of the one that opens when they click on Reply in your comment.
When you receive an email notice of a comment, make sure you click on the link in the email to post your reply online. Replying by email does not work. You might also want to include the name of the person you are replying to in your comment. If they get busy, they will know which comments are replies to them this way.
If you do like to receive others’ comments even before you post your own, go to each of the week’s pages on Thursday morning and click on the Subscribe link in the Leave a Reply box on each page.
Use the Next link (up above the title) to continue on to Exercise 1: Create Your Scanner Daybook after you are done with your comments.
