3. Socratic Seminar Requirements
Expected to speak at least twice:
Both comments need an explanation. For example, don’t just say, “I don’t think the narrator is reliable.” Tell us why.
Be sure to be prepared to speak in response to more than just two questions, in case someone’s answer is very similar to yours.
If you have the same answer, that’s okay, but make sure you have different textual evidence to support it.
If you speak more than once, your BEST comments will be graded.
