Socratic Seminar - Even though Sunday wasn't great, we will bounce back with a good old-fashioned debate using the Socratic Seminar method. The seminar will be a quiz grade. Students can get up to 80 points by joining in the discussion 4 meaningful times with valuable arguments / research, and another 20 points by note-taking, for a total of 100.
For this assignment, you will need to prepare for the discussion by:
**Make-up Work - If you are out this week or on Thur, 2/11, you will need to complete a 1 page (single spaced, 12pt, Times) stating your point of view on the topic.
Socratic Seminar will be held, Thur, 2/11...be prepared!
