My English teacher, Mrs. Keener, assigned text selections for homework and the next day we would have a discussion called a Socratic seminar on what we read. Someone asks questions about the text and then the rest of the class shares their opinions about it. It took a while to get used to this method of discussion, but I've grown to love it. If I didn't understand a part of the assigned reading, I could discuss it with my classmates and we would help each other understand it better. This helped me learn what I should really look for in what I was reading and how I should explain my reasoning behind what I read
