Tomorrow we will be holding our first Socratic Seminar of the year, in which students work together to come up with an answer to some key questions. Our questions are: Why do we read and write memoirs? Is this an inherently selfish or selfless act?
1. Students received “But Enough About Me,” a shortened version of a full-length article from the New Yorker.
2. We read and annotated the first page of the article together.
3. Finally, students continued reading alone or in pairs.
HW: Finish reading But Enough About Me and answering the five questions on the back for tomorrow. Optional: If you have a smartphone, iPod, iPad, laptop, etc. you may bring it in tomorrow to use during class.
