The Socratic Seminar influenced me to think about the text in a more in depth way. The Seminar helped me to get my peer's point of views which influenced my answers because I then realized which questions were wrong and the reasoning for those I got wrong. One thing that was said that made me think more in depth is the meanings of certain phrases and how significant they are. Also the Seminar made me think more in depth because I am always falling for "the distractor" so thinking more in depth helps me choose the best answer instead of the vaguely right answer.
A statement I agreed with the most among my peers is that its essential to look back in the text. When I completed the PIA I didn't really look back in the text, I was almost rushing, so doing the Seminar I could actually take my time and dissect the answers and have a better chance at getting the correct answer. One of the statements that I don't agree with among my peers is when one of them said a strategy to use would be to read the questions first. That would throw me all the way off because then I wouldn't actually read the story, I would read it just for the answer; and plus, the questions that are asked are more along the lines of analysis rather than word for word in the text. I said everything that I wanted to say in the Seminars, so there is nothing that I wish I said.
What worked well for the Seminar was a sharing of opinions because a lot of people shared their answers with confidence and gave reasonable reasoning which helped other people open up to different ideas which is always a good thing because you can compare and contrast answers and eventually come about with the correct answer.
I don't think anything about the Seminar needs improvement.
