Socratic Seminar Preparation

The Goal: Begin to think about some open-ended questions and think about different perspectives as we prepare for the Socratic seminar.

The Plan:

1. Read
2. Review articles, write questions, and begin to prepare for the Socratic seminar.

Next week we will participate in a Socratic seminar, and I want you to feel prepared for that. We will talk about what that looks like, but for now we will begin our preparation. I'm giving you a set of papers that you will work on and complete before our seminar.

• DO NOT LOSE this set of papers. You must complete all of it. (There is no alternative.)
• I am collecting it on Tuesday May 12. 
• DO NOT LOSE IT. 

If you are absent, pick it up from me on Friday. You will be able to catch up.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

1. Your next book review is due on May 13th! That's next Wednesday. Read at home! 
2. Have I mentioned you need to be reading at home?
3. Reading is fun. 
4. Read all the books. 
5. May 13th. Book Review. Do it.

Give me a fist bump if you read this all the way through. (Exploding fist bumps are always preferable.)
