Socratic Smackdown
In the method of the great Greek philosopher, Socrates, students discuss key topics not by debate but by dialogue. Students are in four groups:
- Fishbowl-Participants in the discussion
- Judges-They keep score of the people in the fishbowl
- Coaches-They examine the group and provide feedback on what went well and what could be done better.
- Instant Replay-This group reflects on how they performed in the Socratic circle.
