Socratic Seminar Norms Don’t raise hands but use sensitivity to take turns and not interrupt others Listen carefully Address one another respectfully (Yes, sir/ma’am. No, sir/ma’am. Refer to each other by first name. Use statements such as, “I understand what Mackenzie is saying, but…”) Base any opinions on the text Address comments to the group (no side conversations) Be courageous in presenting your own thoughts and reasoning, but be flexible and willing to change your mind in the face of new and compelling evidence If you are an observer, listen, understand, take notes, evaluate. Hot Seat: If you are an observer/evaluator and you would like to make a comment, you may move to the “hot seat” to engage in the conversation.
