English Language Arts (ELA) students engaged in a Socratic seminar to explore the classic mystery, "And Then There Were None." Through thoughtful discussions about the story’s events and characters, they honed their critical thinking and analytical skills while delving into the novel’s themes and gripping suspense.
We are teaching students and showing them how to take what they have learned and pass it on. This cycle of knowledge creates a ripple effect, building a culture of confidence, collaboration, and community.
