  2. Socratic Seminar Guidelines and Criteria

  3. Reflection Write a 1/2-page evaluation about how the group did, considering the criteria above and the goals of Socratic Seminar. Think also about the following… • How deep did it go? Were there any missed opportunities to go further? • Did people respond well to each other? • What kinds of questions were asked? • Did everyone participate? • Were their different points of view? • Was the text cited often? • Were connections to personal lives made? • Were you satisfied with conclusions reached? • What did you learn from listening? • Did the dialogue lead you to change your mind about anything?

  4. Chapter 8 Questions • This part is a pivotal part for Winston.  Why is he in the Proles' section of town?  What risk does he run by being there? • There are many 'rules' not written down. What are a few of these rules, and what are the consequences for breaking them? • What question does Winston try to get the old man to answer? • Why do Winston's feet take him to the antique shop?  What is the significance of the coral embedded in glass? • Winston's introduction to the room above the shop is the climax of the first Section.  What does the room symbolize and how does it become Winston's obsessions? • The dark haired girl re-surfaces.  What are the dangerous implications of her presence in the prole section immediately after Winston leaves the antique shop?  Why do you think she pretends not to notice Winston? • More of the unwritten rules emerge at the end of part VIII.  What are these rules?  What is the place of "no darkness?"  Why is it significant that this answer appear in this part?
