Socratic Seminar Reflection

The Socratic seminar influenced my thinking on the topic by improving my intellectual way of thinking as a reader and connecting ideas back to the text. One thing that had made me think was how a student compared a real life situation (war) to the book "Thing They Carried", they've given good idead/examples that can be related back to any text throughout  the book.

(I'm sorry I really cannt recall what any of my classmates had said during the seminar)

I think the coaching worked really well because the person would tell me to improve in different categories, and target my question. They also give me ideas to discuss with the group.

I think more people need to be called on during the seminar. Even tho they might not have. Question ready just start them off with one to give them a jump start.
