Socratic Seminar Guidelines:
The goal of a Socratic Seminar is to examine and analyze a text or concept. The most important part of a Socratic Seminar is that all voices are heard in a respectful manner. This does not mean that you cannot challenge others, but that you must do so respectfully. You may challenge one another's opinions, but cannot challenge the person.
