Portrait of the Artist

If you are posting a summary of the class discussion, please indicate the date of the discussion. Feel free to add comments about the book that you were unable to share in class, and to respond to others' blog comments. You might also post questions that arose from the discussion for consideration in the next discussion.

Discussion Expectations

Please post one expectation for the Socratic seminar that you think will make the format successful and inclusive. Our goals are for everyone to have the opportunity to contribute positively to the discussion, and for the discussion to result in a greater understanding of the literature; your expectation should be one that furthers either of those goals. Please state your expectation in positive terms (that is, behaviors to pursue, rather than behaviors to be avoided), and endeavor not to repeat a previous comment, unless it's to embellish or refine it.
