4. Share questions with class 10 min
Please log on and post your DNA answer to edmodo.
Mrs. Kohler will give a short presentation on the expectations of the Socratic Seminar scheduled for Block Day. There will be a quiz on the Socratic Seminal Guidelines and Expectations Handout on Tuesday.
Independently, write one Socratic seminar question that has to do with the Rhetoric of Liberty and how it applies to your life in the 21st century. (5 min)
When Mrs. Kohler tells you to, pair up and share your questions. Do not answer each other's questions, just share them. Then together, you will write one question that is more awesome than your individual questions. Your question should have several parts, and can not be answered by yes or no. You must have at least one semicolon in your question. You must use academic vocabulary, and reference the articles from the Rhetoric of Liberty unit. You will have 20 minutes to write your question and email it to Mrs. Kohler. boledl@fusd.net
Next, each pair will share their question aloud with the class.
Your homework will be to study the Rhetoric of Liberty Readings, and begin to prepare your responses.

DNA-post answer to edmodo
Please read the Socratic Seminar Guidelines and Expectations; it is important that you understand the different types of questions. A Socratic seminar question can not just be a yes or no question. There will be a quiz on the Socratic Seminal Guidelines and Expectations Handout on Tuesday.
Use the information in the handout to write your first question that has to do with the Rhetoric of Liberty and how it applies to your life in the 21st century.
Once you have written your question, you may pair up and write two more. Each student must email me, individually, with their three questions by the end of the period. No exceptions.
