Point to the text

About it

The rule that makes a seminar different from an argument is simple: when you say something, show where in the text you got it. "On page two she says…"

This keeps the discussion fair. The youngest person at the table has the same text as the oldest, so a good point can come from anyone.

One question

What makes a seminar point fair?

Say it back
A lesson is kept once you've answered the question and written at least 8 words. Nobody grades it; it stays on this device.
