Yesterday we had our first Socratic Seminar. Although it was only a mock session, it was still pretty engaging and interesting. In the inner circle, 5 out of 8 people were actually unprepared, and the teacher in charge of our class had to show the article on the visualizer before we could begin. Still, it was an interesting experience, with many people still raising interesting questions and answering others answering them. Still, I am a bit confused as to the exact purpose of a Socratic Seminar. Is it to ask questions, to answer them, or to debate on current affairs?
