I hope you're enjoying listening, participating, and thinking about the questions being discussed today during Socratic seminar. I still contend that the most difficult part, especially being a teacher, is not wanting to throw someone out of a desk to say your own opinion. BUT, Socratic seminars also teach us a skill equally as valuable as being able to articulate your thoughts: to listen.
I'm sure you find yourself composing answers to questions posed in the group, unable to participate, but then find those same answers shifting as you listen to other people's ideas...
Okay, round two tomorrow.
Until then: Happy Thursday.
If you weren't here today, you missed fabulous discussion, interesting conversation, and the opportunity to watch your peers tackle really difficult questions. No worries though, more of the same tomorrow.

I LOVE these things! I really like the times when we're able to speak our minds and debate with others. We need to do more of these!

We got home Wednesday Night from the Track Meet at 10:00PM, got Subway for a late Dinner, and then went to sleep. So I never got a chance to do the questions.
We won (JV AND VARSITY) the whole track meet against Shasta and Paradise!
I tried to work on the questions at the beginning of class yesterday, but you silently 'mouth' yelled at me to stop and do it later. I have them ready for today, but guessing I can't go in the group late.

Question For the SSR Project: I already have a myspace account...so what exactly do you want on it for the book?? Or should I do a completely new myspace for the book? How exactly is it going to work?
I hope you can reply fast!
