Today was a smooth and cool day in English class. We all Participated in a Socratic Seminar, where we talked about the book  "Fahrenheit 451". A Socratic Seminar is a scholarly discussion of an essential question in which student opinions are shared, proven, refuted, and refined through dialogue with other students. Since we usually have a large class we did The fishbowl format, In this format , the teacher selects a portion of the class to sit in a circle or just as a group in the center of the room where they will discuss the articles for about 15 minutes. While this conversation is going on, the students in the outer circle take notes on the students in the inner circle. Students seated in the outer circle remain quiet during the inner group’s discussion. In a Socratic seminar, the students take responsibility for leading the conversation, and the teacher spectates. We also had a guest today watching us and seeing how we do in a Socratic Seminar. The Seminar was a little rusty and they but i think if they had a better question to answer they would've done even better.
