This week we completed our first Socratic Seminar. We used the text A Game of Catch to reinforce the habit of buttressing claims with evidence from text. In this case, students had to build their case and answer the questions, Why did Scho fall from the tree?
Our Socratic Seminar followed the structure listed at www.ProjectTahoe.org (here) in which 100% of the talking and arguing is done by the students.
Room 360 
Congrats on your Socratic seminar. It’s never too early for kids to develop critical thinking skills. Especially in the wake of November 8th.
