Socratic Seminar Question-Writing
WORLD CONNECTION QUESTION:
Write a question connecting the text to the real world.

OPEN-ENDED QUESTION:
Write an insightful question about the text that will require proof and group discussion and "construction of logic" to discover or explore the answer to the question.
Example: How does the story represent the experience of women in the post-Civil War South? (From “A Rose for Emily” by Faulkner
“AND IT MAKES ME WONDER” QUESTION:
Anything you want so long as it’s interesting. Not plot-based boring stuff, but something cool and relevant.
Example: After reading A Tale of Two Cities-I found myself uncomfortably comfortable with Madam Defarge’s need for revenge. I know it hurt the Darnay’s and that it was unjust, but I understood why she did it and can totally understand why she does what she does. Did you guys ever find yourselves feeling sympathetic for a character or cause within the novel that you feel like you shouldn’t have?
