3. Socratic Seminar
The questions should be related to our thematic concept of Human Condition AND the texts you’ve been reading. I will look for you to use the Discussion Starters (academic discourse – see posters that have been on the wall all semester) as a part of your discussion as well.
Solzhenitzyn’s One Word of Truth Outweighs the World (today)
Wiesel’s Hope, Despair, and Memory (today)
Voice episode from Grey’s Anatomy
A Thousand Splendid Suns

4. Socratic Seminar Prep – 15 minutes
Review the big idea unit questions (on next slide) and thematic concepts.
For each question, jot down your responses.
For each thematic concept, consider a statement you could make about this concept based on what we have read and what you have researched.
For each response, review your texts and jot down specific examples that would support your ideas/position.
