Socratic Seminar
The Changing Life of the People
18th – Early 19th Century
Socrates believed that humans learn best by asking questions.
What is a Socratic Seminar?
Used to further develop discussions skills and dig deeper into historical content.
A student opens by asking their question to the class which is answered by other students until the discussion is exhausted.
The last student to speak will then ask one of their questions to the group, and so it goes until all questions have been asked.
Be polite, no “cross-talk” and be attentive to the discussion at all times.
Socratic Seminar:• Write 4-5 thoughtful, open-ended questions with answers from the material in Chapter 20 in preparation for our Socratic Seminar.

The police were certain that the death had been due to accidental, if somewhat bizarre, circumstances…
They had been called to a telephone booth on a report from a passing motorist of an odd situation. The officers discovered a man slumped inside the phone booth, near death, as a result of loss of blood. Two panes of glass on either side of the booth were smashed and the phone hung on its cord.
…You’re the cop, explain it??
