Question: (8/25/2009)

Question: (8/25/2009)
What Are The 3 Main Reasons In A Socratic Seminar
Answer: (8/27/2009)
Well, you get a different perspective and the different ideas from your peers. For example, say someone read Lord of the Flies and didn't understand something such as what the conch shell represented. One of the peers might help them understand that it stood for hope and civilization. BAM, now they have a better understanding:)

nice job


PeaceLoveMarie (9/28/2009)
We used this is one of my classroom's a few years back, and it has proved invaluable as I have moved on in my education. The thinking style that was invoked was unique, and principled. It brought about self-understanding of values, and a deep thinking process than simple memorization and application. It was actual THINKING, going into an author or philsopher's mind, disagreeing, agreeing, and WHY. This is a great technique I recommend to all teachers, students, and anyone with a passion to learn.

We use this in the classroom and it really works! It's great for prompting group activity. It also encourages students to lead the class, which makes it a lot easier on the teachers. :)
