Socratic+Seminar

Below, please find the rules, guidelines, and criteria for our Socratic Seminar.

Rule #1: Criticize ideas; not people!  Rule #2: Give opinions, and give clear reasons for them.  Rule #3: Give examples when possible.  Rule #4: Ask questions about what we read, hear, or see for clarification.  Rule #5: Remain focused on the question at hand.  Rule #6: Are willing to change our opinions with the addition of more information.  Rule #7: Speak freely – there is no need to raise hands, but be polite and don’t interrupt other people.  Rule #8: Have a responsibility to participate (Your grade depends on it). Rule #9: MR. MARTINEZ!! STAY OUT OF THE CONVERSATION as this is a lesson about US not YOU!
