During the socratic seminar, both Brandon and Joanna impressed me with the high-level vocabulary they used to both ask questions and explain the story. This vocabulary undoubtedly enhanced the socratic seminar and different perspectives of each student towards the story. Words such as "oppression" and "coincide" were often used to further explain the story and heighten one's understanding of it.
As I thought back to my participation I realized that I could have done much better than I had performed. I had trouble fully expressing and conveying my ideas, and observed more than I participated.
Individually, some of us did poorly and others did splendidly well. There was no balance between the participation. Some students participated far more than others did; however, many students tried to involve the silent students in the discussion, therefore, I believe that as a group we performed moderately well.
I hope to further my participation in the next socratic seminar.
