Days 7-10
The Socratic seminar (or fishbowl if you prefer) is the core focus of these final three days. Day 7 is all about preparing for the seminar using the prep sheet, doing whip-around games to get the flow of conversation started, and trying to debunk any misconceptions. Days 8 and 9 are entirely dedicated to the seminar itself, and Day 10 is reserved for reflection. Students reflect on the Essential Question and the ways it was discussed during the seminar as well as their own strengths and struggles throughout the two days worth of conversation.
