What is a Socratic Seminar? In a Socratic Seminar activity, students help one another understand the ideas, issues, and values reflected in a text through a group discussion format. Through this type of discussion, students practice how to listen to one another, make meaning, and find common ground while participating in a conversation. Today is just practice since you have never had an Animas High School seminar and thus don’t know exactly what our expectations for excellence are. I’ll be taking notes on each of your contributions and will provide you with feedback, and I’ll ask you to self-assess at the end of our seminar so that you can improve for next week’s first GRADED seminar.
