This project isn’t necessarily a project, more like an event or an assessment we did for our final in this class. It was a socratic seminar, and we did one on the book “Of Mice and Men”. The book covered topics of social hierarchies, sexism, racism and more. It was a book that taught us a lot about how people treat each other and how if affects the person they are. During the socratic seminar, each class prepared 8 questions beforehand and then on a Thursday we’d have the discussion. I think in my class it ran rather smoothly, mostly everyone agreed with each other. I know in other classes it didn’t run as smoothly though.
I think this project is a great example of communication skills, because the classes had to come together and discuss these questions in detail.
I have to honestly say that this was my favorite “project” we’ve done this semester so far. I think the entire idea of it is just amazing and I’d love to do it again with the book we’re reading now.
