You will address in writing the open-ended questions posed during the Socratic Seminar.
Write a response to each of the open-ended questions chosen from the Socratic Seminar. Use evidence from the text to support your answer and write your response in paragraph form.
Activity 2: Discuss
We will discuss our answers, one on one, either with another student or with the teacher.
Engage in a one-on-one discussion with a partner or with the teacher. Pose each question, and discuss your response and the evidence that supports your response.
