Question

1. Someone in your peer review group says that a story needs more details about the setting. How could you build on her comment in a way that helps the writer make the story better?

Answer 1

The Socratic Seminar strategy is based on close textual analysis, so it is important to select a text that provides ample avenues for interpretation and discussion. If you choose a simple text where the meaning is fairly straightforward, there won’t be much for students to discuss. Also, the text should not be too long to read closely in the allotted amount of time. Often, teachers select a text ranging from one paragraph to one page. An example of texts often used as the basis of Socratic Seminar activities include the preamble to the US Constitution, Dr. Martin Luther King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail, or the reading No Time to Think from our resource Holocaust and Human Behavior.

Answer 2

The comment should be: "The scenario of your story lacks details. This should be modified, because it does not promote the reader to see an image that identifies the location where the story takes place. To create these details, you must bet on a descriptive language where you use many adjectives to explain the scenario in detail, I believe it will make your text richer and more appreciable. "

Step-by-step explanation:

The comment must show the importance of detailing the scenario within a narrative and, in a polite way, should indicate how the colleague can do this in his or her text.

The importance of adjectives in setting details should be highlighted, because it is these adjectives that have the ability to create images for the reader and explain the entire setting of the story.
