Socratic Dialogue Assessment - Challenge II

Socrates was all about seeking truth, even when that meant he would be proven wrong.
That humility of intellect is essential for us all. We will be looking for that in the dialogues.

INVENTION
Names of Students

What process did the student go through to invent his/her speech?

Did he/she use an organized method?

ARRANGEMENT

Did the dialogue have a logical progression/order?

Could you easily determine which student was in the role of


"teacher" and which student was in the role of "student"?

ELOCUTION

Were the words used fitting for the dialogue?

Could you clearly understand the issue or topic on which the


dialogue was focused?

Is the "teacher" asking sincere questions as opposed to trying to


trap or trap the "student"?

Is the "teacher" more concerned with winning the discussion or


with leading both persons closer to truth?

MEMORY

Were at least some of Socrates' methods of discussion used?


(definition of terms, use of examples, use of analogies to help
explain, questioning opinions to help "student" determine
validity of those opinions)

Was there enough familiarity with the script that student was
comfortable with the memorized material?

DELIVERY

Did the students transition from one word or sentence to the next
without saying: "like, um, you now, I mean, uh," etc?

Was the student's delivery polished and confident with smooth


transitions?
