Example Action Figure Project

Being the mythology-loving nerd that I am, I decided to create a project along with you guys.

You can check out my progress in the presentation below.  I'm holding myself to the same deadline --> I need to finish it by Thursday too!

Missing your Socratic Smackdown? Want to complete a retake?

Your retake opportunity for the Socratic Smackdown assessment will be held during lunch on Friday, April 8th.

Students will only have 7 minutes for discussion and 5 minutes for reflection, just like the original assessment.  

What to bring:

• texts you plan on discussing (Chicoria, The People, Yes, and How to Read Literature Like a Professor-for Kids! [the last text is not mandatory])
• something to write with (for your reflection)
• your lunch --> this is a working lunch, you are expected to balance both eating your lunch and completing your work

Upon completion of the Socratic Smackdown, students will be released back to the lunchroom.
