Objective:  I can complete my bucket organizer by listing 3 quotes for each of the three categories in the Scholastic AOW after reading the text and consulting with my elbow partner.  I can learn how to “dialogue” rather than “debate” by using the given sentence stems on the board and conversing with my partner to ask questions and provide ideas about the essential question for tomorrow’s Socratic Dialogue.

BW:  Read the AVID Socratic Seminar introduction and list three golden lines in your notebook.

Activities:

  1.  Share Out:  What is meant by “thoughtful dialogue”?  What is meant by “common texts”?  How does “debate” differ from “dialogue”?  What should be “paraphrased” before bringing one’s ideas and/or disagreements?
  2. Independent Study:  Complete your bucket organizer for the Scholastic AOW.  Continue from yesterday’s first bucket/first quote.
  3. Think Pair/Share:  Practice responding with your partner to the essential question of tomorrow’s Socratic Dialogue:  “Has the use of cell phones in schools diminished the ability for substantial learning?”  Use these sentence stems for dialogue:  “I understand you to mean__________, and I think__________.” ” What is your main point?”  “While I understand you to mean_________, is there an alternative?”  I think that…,  and “Why do you think that is true?”
