11.06 - Poem Hunting and Intro to Socratic Seminar

Next, I introduced students to the Socratic seminar a discussion format we will be using to wrap up our work with Anthem. To become more familiar with the Socratic seminar process, we are going to take a look at an article which looks at the internet through the eyes of federal prison inmates who were incarcerated in the late 80s and early 90s (just before the internet became big).
