Today, we ran one of the students’ favorite activities: a Socratic seminar. There are few things fourteen-year-olds love more than arguing, and a Socratic seminar (obviously altered for Covid safety) is the perfect way to wind up a week. Today’s discussion: who was the most morally upright of the minor characters in To Kill a Mockingbird.
After school, we got to hang around a bit because of a tornado shelter-in-place order.
The few kids who were still around sat in the hallway and made silly poses.
The last time we had a shelter-in-place order, the whole area got flooded.
The journey home was dark.
