    2. What is a Socratic Seminar? A Socratic seminar is a way of teaching founded by the Greek philosopher Socrates. Socrates believed that: students learn best by asking questions. It is the teacher’s job to moderate the discussion instead of leading the discussion.

    3. Why do we have Socratic Seminars Socratic Seminars help us engage a text in class. The thought process is when we work together to understand a text it will help everyone’s understanding.

    4. How do we prepare for a Socratic Seminar? The day prior to the seminar you will be given a Socratic Seminar prep sheet. Your job is to complete steps 1 – 4 for homework. It is essential you read the text and prepare yourself with important questions and quotations.

    5. What type of questions should I ask during the seminar? There are three levels of questions. You should come up with a minimum of 1 question per level.

    6. Level 1 (Knowledge Questions): Knowledge means being able to show understanding by talking, writing, drawing, etc. Please use the following stems in creating your Knowledge Questions: Can you state, in your own words?
