Student Engagement: Socratic Seminar for High School
This handout is a guide I use to set up class discussion so students stay on topic,are constructive and engaged in critical thinking. Depending on the level of the students, you can change the amount of points earned to receive an A.

I make a chart with the students' names and check it off for easy scoring.
