Socratic Discussion Prep

These upcoming block days are going to feature an in-class discussion, and here's how that's going to work:

Question Sheet: 70 pts

• Link to Final Draft Sheet (the required one)
• Question Types:

Question Types

• 1)     Universal / Thematic Questions – these will have an open ended answer and could potentially be answered by someone who had not read the book at all. (Ex. From 1984 – Is government surveillance always a bad thing, or could it be a necessary evil to keep the criminal element of society in check?)
  
  
  2)     Text-Based Questions – these will have small quotes accompanying the question so that the group can focus in on the language being used or a specific part of the text in order to answer. (Ex, from 1984 - "If [Winston] were allowed contact with foreigners he would discover that they are creatures similar to himself and that most of what he has been told about them is lies." - If a person from Oceania like Winston met a person from Eastasia or Eurasia who was also like Winston in terms of having rebellious thoughts, what do you think would happen?)
  
  
  3)     Inference Questions – these will be directly about the book, but do not need a quote attached to them. (Ex. From 1984 - Why did the Inner Party keep the proles around, even if they were easy to control?)
  
• Must contain 7 Questions and 7 Answers to participate in the Discussion
• 2 Questions that are Text-Based
• 2 Questions about the Poems
• 1 Universal Question over Quarter 1
• Each Question+Answer is worth 10 points

Discussion: 30 pts

• Only students who have a finished and complete Question Sheet will be invited to the Discussion
