Nov. 9/10: Formative Shared inquiry: socratic discussion on "knowledge as power"-- The Enlightenment

Today, you will participate in your second formative Shared Inquiry. We will use a "Fishbowl" Socratic Discussion Format.
You will participate in a group of 6-7 students.
When you are not participating in the discussion, you will be actively evaluating and giving feedback --either directly for a student or indirectly by observing and reporting on group behavior (using a Google Survey).
