Socratic Seminar Handout
Seminar Expectations:

Why Ordinary People Need to Understand Power- Ted Talk
Take notes on the following:
- What is the major argument that the speaker is making
- In what ways do you see Weber's definition of power apply in the argument and examples?
- What advice can you take away from this Ted Talk?
- What are some examples of power beyond your initial conceptions of exercises of power?
- What connections can you make to the discussion on power?
1. Look over Weber's definition and types of power. Review the transcript from the Ted Talk. Add to your notes. A Socratic Seminar is TEXT BASED. You will use your notes to fuel your discussion.
2. From your notes, write 4 (total)"how' and "why" type of questions. Make sure that your questions are examining the text we just viewed. Don't drift too much into the abstract "what if" scenario type of question. If you find your questioning addressing general situations, bring it back to address something specific in the text.
If you need help with writing questions, use Costa's Level of Thinking Question Stems
I will be checking that your questions are done AT THE BEGINNING of class tomorrow. (Start off on a good foot)
