ReactionOver the last couple of weeks, we have talked
about a variety of controversial topics including animal rights and racial profiling.
Now it is your turn to react. We are going to have a Socratic Seminar where you will have an opportunity to share your opinion on these matters.
You need to develop 5 well thought out questions which will lead to good class discussion. You need to write your answers on the sheet as well.
Socratic Seminar RequirementsYou will have time in class to develop your
Socratic seminar questions, but on the day of the seminar you need to bring them to me typed with:
Your name and period5 good questions 5 responses to your questionsThis sheet along with your participation
(minimum) 4 times in the seminar will determine your grade.
Hot SeatThis time, based on your feedback, we will have
a “hot seat” in the middle of class where you can jump in from the outside circle and join the conversation. This will count as extra credit.
Note: you may not disrupt a seminar and be off topic. It must be pertinent to the topics discussed and move the conversation forward
Ensure you are leaving room for all of your peers to participate and get their points
