Socratic Seminar Questions
Respond to these open-ended questions related to The Crucible. These questions do not have right or wrong answers. They are intended to make you think and prepare you for the upcoming Socratic Seminar. Please answer based on your own beliefs. Support your beliefs with examples from the play, the world, or your own life. Aim for 4 or more sentences in response for each.
You may type or write your responses. ALL students will need to answer these questions for homework.
The Socratic Seminar will involve these questions and a few more. Having time to consider these ahead of time hopefully will prepare everyone to engage in a good discussion during second block.
1. In any unfaithful marriage or relationship, who is to blame--the adulterous party (John), the counterpart or tempter (Abigail), or the distant spouse (Elizabeth)? Can someone be justified or pushed to cheat on their partner?
2. Would you denounce your faith or beliefs to save your life? Why or why not?
3. People often blindly conform to organized religion, political groups, gangs, and factions. Why are so many people willing to do this?

Be sure that your body paragraphs provide proper evidence to back up and support your reason, claim, or argument. Be sure to explain and comment and analyze what the evidence SHOWS.
However, do NOT simply restate or summarize the evidence or CD. That's not what it shows.
Ask yourself questions such as:
Why is the evidence important?
What should the reader understand about the evidence I've presented?
Why is it good or bad?
What would my opponent say and how would I respond?
