Socratic Seminar Reflection #2

     The seminar influenced my view of the "Grapes of Wrath" by introducing new ways of viewing the text. During the seminar, nothing was said that I hadn't deeply considered beforehand.

      

      Calm discussion worked best for the seminar. There was neither fighting nor displayed anger. This allowed a continuously smooth conversation that allowed the slow generation of new concepts and ideas. 

    The non-dominant group should be more assertive. If they become more assertive, discussion beyond five people would take place, causing the seminar to move forward. Overall, the seminar was quiet nice, but again pacing felt slow.
