Prompts for Oct. 27-31

This week, please write about at least one of the following:
  • How is Socratic Seminar relevant to your future life? What will you have to "read" in your future career? How will being able to see from various points of view help you in your career?
  • How do advances in technology affect warfare? How does warfare affect technology? What examples do you see in today's world?
  • What do you make of Joan's claim that she has heard voices and seen visions? How do you evaluate the claims of people who say they have had spiritual experiences?
  • Joan is one of the few women who traditionally receives much attention in world history textbooks. Is it wrong to write mostly about famous men?
  • What did you learn about writing from composing a personal essay? What were the challenges of writing the essay? How is this type of writing different from other types of writing you are familiar with? How would you define a personal essay? Did you have any "aha!" moments as you were writing your essay?
