Prep for "Revolutions" Summative Socratic Discussions...

Today we will focus on preparing for next class' Summative Socratic Discussions that will focus on comparing/contrasting political revolutions.  To prepare, please take the following steps:

Step 1:
Begin to compare/contrast your two political revolutions. 

Make note of the following similarities and differences within your research portfolio in the "Compare/Contrast" table:

• Make note of how they are similar and different in... 
  • ​causes  (long-term chronic conditions, short-term causes, and "spark" of the revolution)
  • characteristics (stages, methods used to carry out the revolution, types of leaders that emerge, etc.)
  • outcome  (what life was like before and after both revolutions)
  • consequences (both good and bad) -- intended and unintended consequences of the revolution.

Step 2:
Look at the group you are assigned to (& group discussion questions for that group)

You will be assigned to a group (Group 1, Group 2, or Group 3) and there are set discussion questions for your assigned group.

​Be sure you add onto your Summative Research Portfolio's compare/contrast table in your Summative Research Portfolio and that within --or in a section added below the compare/contrast table of your 2 revolutions, you have recorded notes, ideas, talking points, supporting evidence, etc. that you will want to address in your Socratic Discussion.  

Use the Socratic Discussion questions to help guide you in what to compare/contrast about your revolution beyond the general compare/contrast analysis already recorded during Step 1.

Step 3:
Watch the video of your formative Socratic Discussion (Enlightenment Philosophers)

You will find links to the video of your Formative Socratic Discussion (Enlightenment Philosophers) -- these links are posted in Schoology within the Unit 2 Folder.  Watch your group's video and look at the feedback you received from your peer evaluator, the comments and score from your teacher and the rubric descriptors for the "exemplary" and "meets" levels to get a better understanding of what you'll need to demonstrate during the Summative Socratic Discussion next class.
