Socratic Seminar
Part of Lesson Plan: Bioethics: Fetal Tissue Transplantation
Activity Overview / Details
Have the students reconfigure the room into a circle of chairs for the activity.
The teacher usually start as the leader with the first few seminars we do as a group. Select a good opening question from the student submissions the day before. A standard opening question might be, "Is fetal tissue transplantation necessary and beneficial?"
During the seminar, you as the group leader, moderate and continue to uphold the norms, but you do not add information as a participant. Allow the students to drive the discussion and allow it to naturally evolve.
An occasional reminder to use the text to justify their positions or to "build" on other peoples statements might be needed in the first few seminars, but after the student cohort becomes acclimated to the process, it is very much a student centered activity.
Allow for about 15-20 minutes of discussion of the topic, end the seminar and move on to the evaluative process.
