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 evidence from the book and had very good develop level 3 question.. I was impressed that people who doesn't talk actually talked during this group discussion.
One thing that made me thing was when a student asked the group: "What is love?". This was actually a good questions some students couldn't really explain what it mean, since live have a deeper meaning to explain with just words.
The less dominant group worked out okay. Everybody was sorta prepared to answer question. I say this because since we read the book together in class and clarified each meaning of lines in the book we were able to justify our intellectual meaning of the book; by doing so we were ready fro the Socratic seminar.
Two thing that need improvement is picking a stronger group leader, one that would pick a student on the spot and give strong level 3 and 2 question. Another is putting at least 2-3 dominant people in the less dominant group, to make the group flow by faster. I say thing because if you do so, when a student asks a question to another maybe a dominant student can clarify for the whole group and it would make everything much easier/
