Socratic Seminar - ‘The Dream’
November 5th, 2009 by johnk
Our Socratic Seminar is about the short story, ‘The Dream’ by the Thai writer, Kuruvin Boon-Long. Make sure that you have carefully read the story and be ready to have an open-ended discussion.
Here is the file for the story:
And here is an audio recording of ‘The Dream’ (narrated by Mrs. Joan Estin):
In order to participate in the discussion, you need to bring a copy of the story, your learning log notebook and a completed entry-ticket.
We’ll use our Socratic Seminar to explore questions and speculations about the story. Here are some points you can touch on (maybe you can think of others!):
* questions about some aspect of the story’s plot and theme
* questions about vocabulary and/or use of figurative language and symbolism
* connections to our unit on Consumer Economics + Identity (e.g., perception, influence, etc.)
* the author’s purpose in writing this story
* personal connections you have with the story
And here are some sentence starters you might want to use during the seminar:
* I’d like to know… * I’m not sure, but…
* I’m wondering why… * What puzzles me is…
* I’m confused about… * I’d like to ask the author…
