| Socratic Circles |
by Matt Copeland
(6-12)
Socratic Circles is filled not only with detailed instructional strategies and
curricular design elements but also with true stories about real students and
how they`ve benefited from this approach. Effectively implemented, Socratic
circles enhance reading comprehension as well as listening and speaking skills.
They also build conflict resolution skills and a stronger sense of community in
the classroom. When students gain ownership of the classroom discussion of text
material, they become more independent and motivated learners. Includes helpful
appendices of ready-to-copy handouts and examples, and identifies text
selections from major literary works that are appropriate starting points for
discussion.
