>>  Hello Everyone!
>>
>>  I hope that you are having a wonderful beginning to the new year. The
>> semester, all around the state and country is winding down, if it hasn't

>>
>>  1. Progression Graphic Organizer
>>
>>  I have a photo for this activity that is attached. (See the photo to
>> see how the graphic organizer is designed).
>>
>>  So this activity is very simple:
>>
>>  1. The teacher (or students for that matter) select 4 vocab words and
>> you put them in designed corners of the whiteboard space you are going to
>> be using. Create a space for a question, per vocab word.
>>
>>  - Leave a bracketed space in the middle of the whiteboard for key vocab
>> words pertaining to questions (i.e. big picture). Add to the list as new
>> vocab comes up.
>>
>>  2. Once the vocabulary has been established, have a student come up
>> with a question that pertains to the first used vocab word (upper left hand
>> corner). Students in the class discuss the question in pairs and after the
>> allotted time is up, approx 3 students share.
>>
>>  3. Select a 4th student to write the next question (WHICH MUST BE
>> LINKED TO THE PREVIOUS AND CURRENT WORD) for discussion. Students change
>> positions and with a new partner, discuss the topic of the 2nd question.
>> Again, 3 students are chosen (new ones) to give their answers, but if more
>> want to chime in, it is all good. A 4th student is then selected to write
>> the next question...and so goes the process until 4 questions are
>> developed, and vocabulary is created into a new list.
>>
>>  Take a look at the photo of the finished product.
>>
>>  I am going to pilot another version of Socratic Seminar but with a lot
>> more movement. I will keep you posted and post it once I have tested it.
>>
>>  Enjoy the activity,
