Socratic Seminar

We will see how this goes online. We really try to do one of these every week. Again, we will see how it goes.

We want to encourage all students to participate in Socratic Seminars when they are done in class. All students have a voice and need to be heard. We have talked with many students during conferences and want all to participate in the dialogue process. Please, talk about socratic seminar with your child and give them encouragement to partake in getting out of their comfort zone of not participating.

Our next socratic seminar will take place on Friday and the students will discuss the poem, songs, photos, exerpts from novels we read. They will be looking at its meaning, and how it connects to their own lives and the rest of the world.

Mrs. Harlow was fortunate enough to go to a training on Socratic Seminars and teach Mr. Lecours! Socratic Seminar gives teachers and students such amazing insight into each others opinions and thoughts. We are so excited to use this same process with our Social Studies Simulations we will be starting very soon!
