Alfred North Whitehead, a famous thinker, once said, “All of western thought is a footnote to Plato.” But imagine that western thought is a person. How would he or she feel? Behave? How would you feel if someone listened to what you had to say and said that you were boring? Or unimportant? Or said you were nothing more than an imitation of Bart Simpson? Only a comic character? In Spanking Plato, a satirical, funny, and irreverent story that some have called the next Monty Python, I have personi

Questioning for Socratic Seminars

Created by

VHS Lessons

When I used to do socratic seminars, I often would write the questions for my students. I'd have them write notes for the questions in advance and then come to the seminar with those notes. But I found that the conversation from that became predictable and too guided, so I decided to switch it up by having the students write the questions. However, students often don't know how to develop thoughtful questions yet, so this lesson is meant to help them do just that. I use these slides the day befo

Spanking Plato Project Overview Alfred North Whitehead, a famous thinker, once said that all of western thought is a footnote to Plato. But imagine that western thought is a person. What would this individual think? How would he or she behave? In Spanking Plato, a satirical, funny, and irreverent story, I have personified Western Thought—also known as Wes or Wesley Thought—as a man who is confused and angry because history considers him a mere footnote to Plato.

Shakespeare - Sonnet 17

Created by

David McLean

Who will believe my verse in time to come, The poet is becoming cannier about the power of poetry; that in praising he might be considered one who exaggerates. This theme of the enduring nature of his words has been an emerging one over the last few sonnets. This notion can be explored via the workbook of practical activities and with the aid of the reading on the PowerPoint.
