  1. Utopia SOCRATIC SEMINAR Is it more important to have your needs met or to pursue your wants?

  2. LA Notebook:Levels of Questioning Practice Use the handout and write a Level 1, 2, and 3 QUESTION for each. Utopia Documents Ch. 12 Jonas becomes the receiver Ch. 14-15 “Love” After ____ minutes, you will exchange one readable set of questions with another Table group and they will tell you which questions created a strong discussion.

  3. SOCRATES the PHILOSOPHER • He is said to have invented the socratic method of teaching and learning • He greatly contributed to our understand of ethics and logic

  4. Socrates is best know for the dialectical method of inquiry which we know as the Socratic method • in which a series of questions are asked not only to draw individual answers, but also to encourage fundamental insight into the issue at hand. • This idea Is also represented today in the scientific method

  5. YOU are responsible for the Seminar: Be a FROG, not a LOG or a HOG: Jump into the discussion. Help, don’t just sit there and help everyone get chance to talk. LISTEN to understand other’s ideas AND take NOTES. RESPECT differing ideas Use evidence and examples from New Harmony, The Giver or Pleasantville. Aim at understanding and help others clarify questions and responses.

  6. Preparing for the Socratic Seminar- Creating 3 good questions from the text START: Review all Utopia Documents and The Giverfor evidence that supports your claim. Use the name of the source, page numbers/paragraph numbers to cite your source. FIND TEXT: Choose one of those parts of the text/movie that bother, puzzle you. Find a quote that you want to discuss. CREATE A QUESTION: Create level 2 or 3 questions that arise from that text/part of the story to start a discussion..

  7. How the Seminar will work: • One member of the triad will sit in the circle. • The other two members will sit outside – one taking notes, the other passing sticky notes • Everyone will have The Giver, New Harmony and Utopia/dystopia papers • Everyone will have a page in their LA NB ready for Cornell Notes • Everyone will have their question/record sheet • The facilitator will ask the first question. • Jump in, no need to raise hands • The facilitator will help speakers take turns if necessary. • The facilitator will help with clarifying questions and lead the evaluation discussion afterwards • We will rotate so everyone gets a chance in the middle • Each person will get about 10 minutes

  8. Rules for this Seminar: • Don’t interrupt • Summarize what the previous speaker said • The goal is for everyone to share ideas, so wait for at least 3 others to speak before you speak again. • Talk to the whole circle and speak up. • The facilitator will ask for a new question when the conversation seems to be out of new ideas. • There will be a chance for anyone to speak some “last words” before we conclude this session.

  9. EVALUATION 30 points: YOUR SCORE WILL BE BASED UPON: • PARTICIPATION: as checked on the RECORD SHEET by your partner and as observed by Ms. Slack. • Preparation: The Text you chose and the QUESTIONS you wrote • CORNELL NOTES: It is not expected that you get every word, but that you a question or a comment when you are not speaking. Speakers only need to note 2 questions & 4 comments so you aren’t distracted. • Your REFLECTION answers

  10. Is it more important to have our needs met or to pursue our wants?SOCRATIC SEMINAR Have out: All Utopia Documents, LA NB, The Giver, and Socratic Seminar Record sheet. GET READY: Set up Cornell Notes in your LA NB. The Giver, Socratic Seminar Record Sheet.

  11. Dialogue v. Debate • One listens to find differences and to argue • Creates a determination to be right • Assumes a single, right answer –your own and attacks others • One listens to understand and make meaning • Creates an openness to be wrong and to change • Assumes that others have good ideas to add and values cooperation

  12. Rules for this Seminar: • Don’t interrupt-wait for a pause • Summarize what the previous speaker said • The goal is for everyone to share ideas, so wait for at least 3 others to speak before you speak again. • The goal is cooperation, not competition. Help everyone participate. • Talk to the whole circle and speak up. • The facilitator will ask for a new question when the conversation seems to be out of new ideas. • There will be a chance for anyone to speak some “last words” before we conclude this session.

  13. Rules for this Seminar page 2: • The facilitator will ask the first question • When ideas start to be repeated, or become trivial- call for another question • The facilitator may mute students who are “hogging”. • The facilitator may call on students who haven’t spoken up • Encourage participants to USE THE TEXT to support their responses. For instance: Where do you see that?
