  2. Socratic Seminar or Discussion • The Socratic seminar is a formal discussion, based on a text, in which the leader asks open-ended questions.  Within the context of the discussion, students listen closely to the comments of others, thinking critically for themselves, and articulate their own thoughts and their responses to the thoughts of others.  They learn to work cooperatively and to question intelligently and civilly.

Schmit, eds.  Urbana, IL: NCTE, 2002.

  3. Guidelines for Discussion • Being prepared • Directing the flow of the discussion • Determining the meaning of the discussion • Constructing your own analysis of the discussion • Utilizing critical thinking, listening, and communicating skills • Respecting and honoring the opinions and voices of all other participants

Begin speaking when he or she has finished. • Be respectful of all participants’ opinions. • Disagreement is fine. Do so in a respectful manner. • Don’t direct your comments to the teacher direct them to everyone. • Support your opinions with evidence from the text. • Use all of your “talking chips.” • Don’t be afraid to ask questions! • Remember... there’s no one “RIGHT ANSWER.”
