Target: to carry the conversation as a class without the teacher, asking questions of each other in order to go deeper (in a Socratic Seminar)
1. In table groups, partner off. Using the scoring guide, choose a skill to focus on in discussion today.
2. Put your names on both copies of the scoring guide. Hand one to your partner and one to me.
3. Form an inner and an outer circle. 1st round participants go in the inner circle, and partners sit behind them in the outer circle.
4. Inner circle: Participate in a discussion about the topic by asking a question, presenting key evidence and responding to each other's remarks.
Outer circle: Listen and take notes on the scoring guide, marking skills your partner demonstrates.
The 1st round will be 8 minutes.
Partners give feedback--what did he/she do well? What does he/she need to work on for next time?
5. 2nd round: 8 minutes. Then partners give feedback.
6. Closing comments?
7. Reflect on the back of your scoring guide: How did you do today? What was the most interesting or enlightening part of the discussion for you?
