Grading/Scoring out of 10 points

The Socratic Seminar will be graded out of 10. EVERYONE will receive the same grade, unless you do significantly better or worse as an individual than your classmates. In a class for 10/10, we would see that:

● The loud do not dominate; the shy are encouraged. Everyone is clearly understood, prepared, and participating equally and respectfully.

● When the process is not working, the group adjusts. by moving forward or clarifying.● Students offer analysis and show deep knowledge of the text and question through

comments and questions • Students back up what they say with examples, quotations, etc.

● Attempt to resolve questions and issues before moving on to new ones.● Students are using their own thoughts. They may paraphrase, question, or add onto

what their classmates say, but they should not be repeating what is said. • Recorders/supporters demonstrate active listening through note-taking.

Point System● Every single person must contribute● VALID contributions only● Remember - this is a discussion

amongst students. Teachers will help, but only when necessary. It is up to you to continue the conversation.

● You need to continue this conversation on your own. You are young adults, you can do this!
