Socratic Wrap 10/5-10/9
10/9/2015
Email me CHAPTER 6 QUIZ some of you still need daily grades this week.
Today's seminar should be 15 minutes! Time it so you can use the remaining time to wrap.
This week we had four seminars, and your wrap should consist of:
4 debriefs
4 self-evaluations
2 partner evaluations
Instead of writing a summary, create a flow chart/concept map tracking Ishmael's explanation of Taker and Leaver cultures.
Include on your map: Adam&Eve, Cain&Abel, The ABC's, Semites, Ishmael, The Narrator, the gods, tree of life, tree of knowledge, indigenous peoples, the early aeronauts, law of natural selection, law of man, population control, unregulated growth.
And anything else that you can recall. Use arrows to show how one idea relates to the others.
This is a project grade. Some of you still need a project grade.
Finally, look back over your evaluations from previous weeks. Answer the following:
What changes do you see?
Has your interest and participation gone up or down?
What are your goals for the last week?
Thanks again for embarking on this journey with me. I sincerely hope our exploration of this book will help us dig deeper into the topic of Environmental Science. I may or may not agree with everything in Ishmael, but I do believe that turning on our brains is the key. We have to past the trite messages, "Save the whales!" etc., and delve deeper, really get our hands on (who said this, Esmerelda?), and find sustainable ways to live.
Priscilla asked me one day, "Do you think that this book is really about activating those parts of our brain that we don't use?"
And the best I could say is, "Quite possibly."
All I know, is that yesterday, when I thought fourth period hadn't read, and wasn't really processing, your writing showed me that you were. Keep going. I can't wait to see what get said tomorrow when I'm not there. Someone record that seminar (if you can convince the sub that it's all right by me).
I refuse to read the Cliff Notes, and I sincerely hope you will stay away from them and think for yourself. Speak your own mind, regardless of the grammar and spelling.
