My Socratic Seminar Reflection

The seminar we had today was good because my classmate’s girls brought out all their ideas and we contributed from one other. My classmate Emily was leading up our seminar. We were all on task and had our article well annotated and were working on staying focused on to the text. This time my group improved and worked on controlling the conversation better not interrupting and everyone in our group had a chance to speak and stop one person from dominating.I will consider my self one of the quiet’s but we all try in bringing those good ideas and comments we taught not all students are to learn in the same in the same procedure but we all did to keep this seminar conversation floating As the conversation got going more people got passionately involved in the heated conversation which led to a great learning experience. My group of all girls we should just work a bit more on staying on the text even though we loved to go to the side of the conversation. The text of the article really helped us argue and learn the whole concept of voting at sixteen. The author had like all these extremely good ideas and I think that some of the ideas proposed in this text were very good. A good point that Emily brought to the seminar was that how could we a 16 year old be with a credit card instead of having the right to vote and it was a good point that was discuss because that’s the age where most get their license work and enough responsibility but are still in school. This was one of the good seminars specially that we were being film but working in our errors but little by little were improving.

Youth Voting vocab

While reading this article I noticed that many of all youth will now have interest and the intentions of now voting since them a big percentage of youth like Obama speeches and ideas. Since the year 1972 18 years olds and up been suffrage, first time that the youth was allowed to vote. Now days seems like didn’t matter as much into politics but when 9/11 happen it was a big increase. Other thing I taught was that their might be often young people that go with being a liberal party meaning that there aren’t either democrat or republican. That also well involve at all people who are Evangelical and have their own believes which we should respect and liberal’s aren’t allowed in the religion. Now all constituents are noticing that Obama might be with a majority of votes. For now seems that the democrats are taking the lead and the progressive of the democrat party is trying to do all the better conditions to have more benefits for there political party. It was sure going to increase the youth voters since Obama is a young president and got many good and young ideas that the most of all youth will agree with him. After these elections it will seem like the youth will be the conservative.

My experience debating issues and researching

Throughout the beginning of this project my class and I were representing the Republican Party, as if my group and I was John McCain. We had to have a lead advisor in our group who was our leader and we individually were to choose an issue. I was to choose the Education Reform issue. I began to research in John McCain’s website and all different sources, and specially news. In my research I took all these good notes and facts because we were to have a debate and I was to go against the other two candidates and disusing the same issue. Trough out the first part of the project I enjoyed it and I was to experience within the procedure of the project because this is a thing in politics that we will live in the real life.
