The document provides guidelines for participating in a Socratic seminar discussion. It instructs the inner circle of discussants to listen carefully to each other without interruption, relate opinions to the assigned text, and be willing to reconsider views with new evidence. Outer circle participants can join the discussion when invited by the inner circle for a single question. Questions should be open-ended, reflect curiosity, and generate interpretation rather than having a single right answer. Groups are assigned sections of the text to discuss.
