Socratic Seminar

The Socratic seminar influenced my thinking on the topic by improving my intellectual way of thinking as a reader and connecting ideas back from text to text.One thing that had made me think was how a student stated examples from 4 different articles and connected back to each other. The teacher had some very good level 2 questions. I was impressed that people who doesn't talk actually talked during this group discussion.

One thing that mad me think was when Adriana asked "How would connected poverty to grapes of wrath". This was actually a question everybody in the group had to think about. Another one was "What is your feeling towards poverty?" I felt that everybody in the group expressed and shared their thoughts on it.

The group leader was phenomenal. Her level 2 and 3 question was very good. Her way of speaking changed everybody aspects on the book and the different articles. Her speaking on the topics was clear.

One thing that needs to be worked on is more than one person talking for whole group.

Socratic Seminar

To be honest the seminar didn't improve my intellectual way of thinking because I felt as if the my group wasn't prepared to talk ad discuss on the topic. I can say that he other group was good because they were on topic the whole time, they had strong level 2 and 3 questions.  I guess both group can learn from each others mistakes. Nothing really made me think on something that was so in depth.

The  statement I agree with the most is that " Money Can't Buy You Happiness". There was nothing that was said in the group that I disagreed with. I felt as  if most of the people in he group shared their thoughts, I agreed with them I felt as if they were right. Things that need to be said in the group is more level 2 and 3 questions. I would like some people to speak in the group instead of staying quite as a mouse. I want them to speak up in the group.

I think the group leader worked really good because she was able to state level 2 questions and grab others in the group attention on the topic. She also had very strong level 2 and 3 questions. She was able to give a clear statement on the topic.

I think there need to be more people to speak and ask questions, also the coaching need more work on.
