Social Studies 8


Today students participated in a Socratic Seminar about the Declaration of Independence. The Socratic Seminar is a discussion model that allows students to learn from each other's ideas and opinions about a common text (in this case, the Declaration). The format is different than a class discussion - students sit in a circle, facing each other, and it is not necessary to raise hands.

Assignment: Complete the self-evaluation and 2-paragraph response to today's discussion - DUE TOMORROW
