• Google Form

• In this activity, you will watch a short video (approximately 3 minutes) that explains the Socratic questioning method. 

• After viewing the video, you will engage in a reflective exercise where you will write both convergent and divergent questions inspired by Socratic Questioning video. 

• The purpose of this activity is to apply our understanding of the Socratic method and develop convergent and divergent questions that align with its principles.

• An overview and examples of convergent and divergent questions are provided in the Google Form. 

• Scenario: In a classroom project, a group of students is working together to create a presentation. They have encountered a conflict within the group. One student, Alex, feels that the group is not giving their best effort and has voiced their concerns. Another student, Jordan, feels frustrated because they believe they are doing a lot of work, and Alex's comments feel unfair.

• Reflection: How might you incorporate SEL questioning techniques to address this conflict? 

1. What steps can you take to create a classroom environment that consistently fosters SEL principles and encourages students to use SEL questions in conflict resolution and communication?

2. Can you identify any SEL questions that could have been used to effectively address the situation?

3. How might you incorporate SEL questioning techniques to address this conflict?

4. Reflect on the importance of teaching students conflict resolution skills using SEL principles.
