Tuesday: READ ALOUD AND CLASS DISCUSSION

RTI Priority Day:  I will let you know today if you are REQUIRED to come to my intervention on Wedesday for COMMENTARY.


PLATO's Apology

Activity Three:  Read Aloud and Discussion

Class discussion questions in your "rock star" group*s:

1. What is Socrates being accused of?

2. How does Socrates make it clear that he is innocent?

3. In PARAGRAPH 3, Socrates says he is on trial because of a "certain kind of wisdom" he has.  What kind of wisdom is this?


*GROUP ROLES
LEADER--keeps the group on track with an eye on the clock
INVESTIGATOR--researches any background information, looks up key words if necessary
MATERIALS MANAGER--takes papers from teacher and turns in work for the group, properly labelled
RECORDER--writes down answers for the group, takes notes on the discussions, etc.
