Monday: Socratic Seminar Groups on Huck Finn

Learning Target:  to use a civilized and academic discussion to gain insight on a text/controversial issue.


1. Submit this form in the first 5 minutes: http://goo.gl/v5tDB7

2. Get into groups based on your numbers.

3. You have 20 minutes to share your thoughts on this topic.  Please use your notes and the materials and the novel to present your point of view to your group members.  Give everyone equal time, but be sure to keep the conversation dynamic and focused.  (Once you start a lively discussion, you shouldn't need to worry about time, but try to bring any members into the discussion that don't seem to be talking.)

4. (10-15 minutes) Then, staying where you are, fill out this form individually: http://goo.gl/bJcuOv  Make sure you MAKE A COPY and PUT IT IN YOUR ENGLISH FOLDER--as long as the folder is shared with me!  (otherwise, you will need to share it with me directly.)

5. (last 10 minutes) Share strong persuasive arguments from today's class.
