This week we learned the basic structure and purpose of the Socratic Seminar. I really enjoyed hearing students share their reading experiences from this summer, but learned a lot about the process along with you. I was very impressed with the civility of the discussion and the energy that many of you have for speaking, as well as the curiosity you expressed for learning more about current events. What a great beginning!
Homework Reminder: Read pages 1-4 in "An Introduction to Rhetoric" and complete the ACTIVITY on the bottom of page 4, top of page 5.
Also, consider getting a head start on the online assignment posted below, the video excerpt of the David Foster Wallace commencement speech.
