8. Teacher Reflection-
|
| I think the material used either can make or break the Socratic
seminar. The material we used were two op-ed poems from 1899 about
imperialism as listed in Springboard. The students only complaint
was the poems were hard to understand. However, after the seminar
students seemed to have a larger grasps of what the poems meant. I
believe a deeper level of understanding was reached. |
