Unit 4, Lesson 16: Socratic Seminar
Learning Target: I can defend my claim with evidence
Class Activities:
1. The kids walked in and sat themselves in a circle of chairs for our socratic seminar. They picked up a Do Now worksheet as they walked in, and worked on the front. It basically asked them to jot down key pieces of evidence, potential rebuttals, etc.
2. I explained the process of the socratic seminar, and then I didn't say much for the rest of the class. Students had a partner assessment sheet, checking off each time their partner spoke, used evidence, etc. I took notes, too. My observations, the partner assessment sheet, and the self-assessment sheet, will be the basis of the classwork grade on Pupilpath.
3. At the end, we talked about how we can improve next time, what went well, etc.
Papers handed in today:
Final papers!!! and partner assessment sheets.
Homework:
Finish self-assessment sheet (on the back of the do now.) If you were absent, you were excused from this assignment. All you need to do is make sure you give me your final paper.
