An Ode to Socratic Seminars
I slip into class, one Friday Afternoon
With a tired brain and a sour mood
Yet my ears perk up, hearing my teacher say
“We’re going to have a Socratic today!”
It’s the event you’ve been waiting for all month
It sure doesn’t put students in a crunch
So come from near, come from far
Come enjoy the illustrious Socratic Seminar
I love watching my peers scramble for quotes
filling up pages and pages of notes
only for two people to talk for ten minutes
There’s no way you can’t love it
It’s the event you’ve been waiting for all week
It sure doesn’t make students freak
So come from near, come from far
Come enjoy the illustrious Socratic Seminar
As one of our group members rolls their eyes
the rest of us stay on track and make good time
We all think we’re being really deep,
but really we’re a flock of sheep
It’s the event you’ve been waiting for all day
It sure doesn’t put students in disarray
So come from near, come from far
Come enjoy the illustrious Socratic Seminar
