Pat yourself on the back, for you completed your very first cold read this week. We have all observed the many personalities that arise during such a competitive discussion.
America is not only obsessed with body image, but stereotypes seem to be a common fad as well. Thus, as an American myself, I decided to stereotype the three personalities I have observed that sprout during socratic seminars.
1. First, there is the "I'm-Going-To-Talk-Just-To-Talk" and maybe by some chance I will spit out something significant and recieve a "wow" from the teacher. Where is my gold star?
2. Staring blankly down at his desk while teetering a pencil back and fourth, he is a "Mouth-Not-Matching-Mind." His thoughts are existentually beautiful, but the distance from his brain to mouth is too far for thought transportation. Because he lacks this communication bridge, you take his points away; however, he will keep his true treasures tuckered away safely in his tinker.
3. And lastly, we have the "Wow-Nice-Yeah." This person knows what to say, what not to say, when to say it, and when not to say it. He is at equilibrium between numbers one and two. Grade? A. But still not on the market for Yale eggs.
