Philosophical Chairs
Decide whether you agree or disagree
with the statement below:
Students today lack the skills necessary
to think critically on their own. They
must be taught these skills in school.

Philosophical ChairsRules of Engagement
1. Listen carefully when others speak and seek
to understand their arguments even if you
don’t agree.
2. Only one person speaks at a time.
3. First, briefly summarize the previous
speaker’s argument before you make your
response.
4. Address ideas, not the person stating them.
5. Keep an open mind and move to the other
side or the undecided section if you feel that
someone made a good argument or your
opinion is swayed.

Socratic Seminar
ListenNo one can speak while someone else is
speaking.
BuildSpeakers must try to build on what others say,
not debate their views.
Refer to the textSpeakers must refer directly to the section of the
text from which their ideas come rather than making general comments or observations.
