14. 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.

15. Socratic Seminar 2 Book-Mind-Heart Questions
1 Version of the High Order Thinking Question
What kind of an effect did reading have on Maria?
What are different reasons for reading books? Provide examples from the book as well as your own.
Is it really possible for a book to “change a person’s life?” or, is that just a “cliché” written by educators to make kids feel like they should read books? Use information from Life and Death or “Becoming Kareem Abdul-Jabbar”.
