6. TWO CIRCLES
INSIDE CIRCLE
OUTSIDE CIRCLE
OR… THE “AVACADO”

7. The Steps Inner Circle discusses a question from the question sheet
Outer Circle listens and takes notes on the Inner Circle’s discussion because they will be discussing the same question in a moment.
Outer Circle and Inner Circle switch
The new Inner Circle discusses the same question the new Outer Circle just finished discussing.
The new Outer Circle listens and takes notes for the next time they are the Inner Circle
After all the questions are discussed, the teacher or facilitator will ask each student to respond, in writing, to a question which was highly disputed during the Socratic Circle. The response will be due either at the end of class or at the first of class the next day.

8. INSIDE CIRCLE RESPONSIBILITIES
Be respectful of one another… One person speaks at a time.
Respond to a question from the discussion question sheet.
Use evidence from the text to back up your claims

9. OUTSIDE CIRCLE RESPONSIBILITIES
Listen to the inner circle
Take notes on things you want to comment on since you will be addressing the same question when you get in the circle
