Socratic Seminar Day!

Today we practice our speaking and listening skills with a Socratic seminar. We start with small groups to give everyone a chance to speak in a smaller, less intimidating context, and everyone a chance to only listen. Sometimes we learn from each other by not speaking at all, even when we have strong opinions. (Remember, though, it's about finding balance for YOU. Participation in this requires you to talk at some point.)

If you are absent, you have an opportunity to make it up on THURSDAY at lunch in room 2307.

Our Agenda:

  1. Chapter 9/10 Quiz (8 minutes)
  2. Expectations and Procedures for our Socratic Seminar (a discussion) 
  3. Socratic Seminar!
  4. At the end of class, I will ask you to complete the following Socratic Seminar Reflection

ALSO! I collected some Instagram Slides that were pretty awesome

HOMEWORK:
  • COMPLETE THE SEMINAR REFLECTION (This influences the grade, for sure.)
  • Vocab LUC Due Tomorrow
  • Read Chapter 11 in Lord of the Flies (link to audio is in your school loop locker)
