AFTER SOCRATIC SEMINAR QUESTIONS

I feel that the seminar went very well because we had some very good conversations with different perspectives about the story. Everybody got a chance t say what they want to say and all of the topics were covered in detail.
My experience as the moderator of the seminar was very fun because i felt like i had the power to control the seminar. I enjoyed being able to talk to everybody about the topics and it was really cool to see everyone's perspectives on the questions.
My opinion did not change during the session but the people that had the same opinions as me helped further stregthen my opinion by them provifng more reason than i thought of about why my resoning was mostly

There was not any bad parts of the semiar because everyone got to shre their ideas in the way they wanted to be portrailed
I really enjoyed the socratic seminar because i have neer done anything like that in any of my classes before so it was very intresting to hear everoynes opinion and be able to challage them on their ideas.
I liked when i said that “ death gives you a reason to live life to the fullest” because i fell like that supported my opinion in the argument of death does give meaning to life.
I remeber when someone said that the reason that the woeman was introduced to enkidu was the allow enkidu to share complex thoughts with someoe who thinks like him. I belive that transfer of ideas between them made enkidu alot more civilzed and loose his animal insticts.
The most intresting question in my opinion was “is Gilgamesh a hero? I belived he was a hero but the mejority of the class did not belive in that so i got to hear evroynes opinions and it made me belive tht gilgamesh has some non-hero like qualites that made him sound lesser than what i made him sound in my pre-seminar

    The Socratic Seminar was an educational and enlightening experience. Before the day of the seminar I was a bit apprehensive and was not sure whether the class, or I for that matter, would participate much or learn much. After the class I felt great about the experience and learned a lot, it was good to have a conversation with my fellow classmates about the story in a relaxed atmosphere. I was confused on several aspects of the story and wanted to discuss several topics such as Dexter’s motives during his attempted journey into Judy’s heart. Overall I felt that the Socratic Seminar was a great experience and I learned more about the story than I initially had by simply reading it.…

    The class has broadened my thinking process quite a bit now since the beginning of class. The Oral presentation on gentrification in El barrio has changed my outlook on how communities in the united states are being manipulated to change because of the area they live in and how that area is in need of change but not for the betterment of the people that live in that community but for the investors and other people that are trying to move in to change the demographics of that community. These kind of communities are hurt the most because sometimes the property is valued more than the culture that is being asked to step aside.…

    Last year, I has Mrs. Sulzbach for English 9 Honors and my favorite thing about her class was probably the people who were in it. Most of the people in my class were very animated and talkative, so they made class discussions fun. Most of the time I find class discussions to be boring and after talking for a while, the conversation normally dies down or people are just repeating the same ideas in different wording, but that never really happened in Mrs. Sulzbach's class. Socratic Seminars were especially fun because the conversation never stopped and a lot of interesting viewpoints were brought up, even if we sometimes strayed onto the weirdest tangents.…

    To begin, a memorable experience that sticks out is one of the first days of class. We began talking about how we will also be using a second textbook. Soon after the class began discussing definitions of advocacy. Personally, I could not come up with many definitions and seeing the variety of results the class produced not only showed me how much I can learn from others, but also showed me how writing can include advocacy. I had never thought of the presence of advocacy in writing, therefore that specific class period was eye opening. To hear how writing sends a specific message to an audience while simultaneously using different rhetorical techniques to help further that message was a great introduction to what the course would be discussing.…
