Socratic+Seminar


 * Here are the directions for the Socratic Seminar that will take place on Friday the 4th (Block 1B) and Monday the 7th (Block 4A):**

1. Post a 50 to 100 word answer to the question on this page's discussion board (topic: "Socratic Seminar Behavior").

2. Prepare notes on the following questions and be ready to share your thoughts during the seminar:
 * What made the book so good? (or not)
 * What made the movie so good? (or not)
 * Which was better, the book or the movie?
 * Has your view of disabled people -- individuals like Lennie or the real-life characters seen in the Youtube clips -- changed during this unit of study? How? Why? Why not?
 * Considering the discussion board topic, did you follow through on what you said you were going to do? Elaborate. (This is an impromptu situation -- you will not know the answer to this question until the close of the Seminar. Therefore, you will not be able to prepare any notes on this one.

The notes should be written, typed, or sketched out. I will collect them at the end of the Seminar.


 * Below is a document taken from the website StudyGuide.org which contains a wealth of information about Socratic Seminars. This would be a good thing to read before you participate in the upcoming seminar.**
