Ice Breaker – Mandatory Reading
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Joseph Addison
Each week on The Stretched Blog, I ask an ice breaker question. The questions are designed to help us get to know each other here in The Stretched Community. I’ll provide my answer to the question here in the post, and then you can leave your response in the comments. While you’re in the comments section, see how others answered the ice breaker question.
(I’m always looking for Ice Breaker question ideas. If you have an idea, send me an email at jon@jonstolpe.com. If I use your question, I’ll give you credit and share your links.)
Question: If you could choose one book as a mandatory read for all high school students, which book would you choose?
My Answer: At first thought, I would say the Bible, but I’m not sure that would be effective. Many of the books I HAD to read in high school tortured me. And I don’t want the Bible to be seen in this way. For this reason, I would select a book with short chapter and stories that kept readers attention. If I could choose one book as a mandatory read for all high school students, I would choose Love Does: Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World
