Socratic Seminar Procedure "The unexamined life is not worth living." -Socrates

Procedure Don’t stay confused. Ask for clarification. Don’t raise hands. Take turns speaking. Listen carefully. Try not to repeat one another. This is a conversation—an insightful one. Discuss ideas, not opinions. You are all responsible for where the seminar leads you. Be respectful of your classmates. Speak so everyone can hear you.

Make sure to refer to the text for support. This is not going to be a perfect seminar. We are in practice mode.
