 * BIG QUESTION: **


 * Instructional Objectives: **
 * 1) Students in the inner circle will participate in a Socratic Seminar ‍‍in order to demonstrate their understanding of Charlie’s character. ‍‍
 * 2) Students in the outer circle will write a small paragraph ‍‍in order to make constructive comments about the discussion from the inner circle.‍‍


 * Procedure: **


 * 1) Upon entering the classroom, students will pick a number out of a hat.
 * 2) Students with a number 1 will sit in the “inner” circle.
 * 3) Students with a number 2 will sit in the “outer” circle.
 * 4) Two teachers will sit in the inner circle, and two teachers will sit in the outer circle.
 * 5) To begin, the first question will be discussed: “‍‍What made Charlie who he was as a character throughout the story?‍‍”
 * 6) Students in the inner circle will discuss this question ‍‍thoroughly, respectfully, and thoughtfully.‍‍
 * 7) While the inner circle is discussing, the outer circle will write a paragraph on their observations of the discussion.
 * 8) Once the first question has been completely discussed (20 minutes maximum), the outer will be given the opportunity (2 minutes) to raise any questions, comments, or concerns in regards to the first question.
 * 9) ‍‍The students will then switch. The outer circle will become the inner circle, and the inner circle will become the outer circle.‍‍
 * 10) The process will repeat itself, except the second question will be discussed.
 * 11) At the end, students will complete an exit ticket. ‍‍The exit ticket will explain one thing the students liked about the seminar, as well as one thing they didn’t like‍‍.
 * 12) Students will also turn in their portfolios with their exit tickets.


 * Assessment:** Students will demonstrate their knowledge of the questions by participating in the inner circle discussion. All students must paricipate to receive 50% of their credit. Students in the outer circle will turn in their written responses/reactions to the inner circle discussion at the end of class to receive the second half of their credit.


 * Accommodations:** We will post instructions/rules on the board for students. We will also pass out worksheets will rules for the socratic seminar to each individual student. In addition, one teacher will type the discussion out on the computer and show it on the overhead screen as the discussion is happening.
