Reading assignments for class on Wed, Sept. 28th
1. Plato's dialogue called Apology which recounts the trial of Socrates.
Guidelines for engaging the reading assignment
1. Write down any words or concepts you do not understand, look up information about each one and try to distill it into a definition or description to write in your journal.
2. What is the argument being presented? What are the assumptions? What is the conclusion? What is being used to support an assertion? Try to write down, however rough it is, your sense of how the reasoning is working.
3. What's a question this reading raises for you? If you don't have any questions, the thinking hasn't started. Go back and reread it if this happens to you. Keep thinking about it until you have a question. Write down your question and a short explanation of why this question interests you.
