Group A 

What is a dialogue?

Dialogue

In a dialogue you ask each other questions about the subject. With the technique of questioning (doorvragen) you let each other think: is it correct what you thought or can you discover new things? This way you will learn more and more together and on the subject.

Asking versus Telling

Why did Socrates call his way of talking the midwife technique?

Because he thought people already know the truth, but often don't know it. By asking questions he made them discover this hidden knowledge.

n het oude Athene sprak hij mensen op de markt aan en stelde

ze vragen over een onderwerp. Hij deed dan alsof hij er niets vanaf wist en dat hij daarom veel wilde vragen. Zo liet

hij mensen zo diep over hun ideeën nadenken, dat ze wel moesten toegeven dat die niet klopten! Hij liet mensen

ontdekken dat ze door diep na te denken dichter bij de waarheid konden komen. Plato, een leerling van Socrates,

schreef deze gesprekken op als de dialogen uit een toneelstuk.

Antwoord: 

By asking questions you make each other think!

 

Everyone is allowed in the conversation
to give his or her opinion. If you hear something that's not right or you disagree, try one critical question! 

We are now going to practice this technique with the method 'doorzagen'  (APPENDIX B)

By constantly asking new questions, he makes the other person think about his opinion. You call this questioning (doorvragen). It is a game of questions and answers! 

Ultimately, the respondent will have to admit that driving is not only fun, but can also be dangerous. One conclusion may be that it is good that there is a maximum speed.

VragenVuurtje 

• The subject is Corona Rules
• Write on a post it questions you can ask about this

Geef een onderwerp en schrijf dit op een flap.

2. De leerlingen schrijven een vraag over het onderwerp op een post-it, plakken hem op de flap, lopen

terug om meer hout te sprokkelen ofwel een nieuwe vraag op te schrijven, gaan die weer opplakken,

etc... . Hang eventueel meerdere flappen op.

3

3. Plak je vraag zo mogelijk bij vergelijkbare vragen van anderen;

4. Benoem de vragenclusters kort, als de deelnemers hierdoor nog nieuwe vragen krijgen mogen ze die

er evetueel bij plakken. Je kunt hier ook vragen rubriceren naar soort: open, gesloten, informatief of

suggestief.

5. Ga verder met het gesprek met een selectie uit de bedachte vragen.

Open Questions

VragenVuurtje With Criteria

• Subject is: 
• Only questions that start with: Who, What, When, Why and How

Excersise; Voting in the Council

Your  class has collected money for a school trip and you  need to agree on a destination. Are you all of the same opinion or do you need to take a vote like in the Council? 

Let’s pretend that you are ministers at the Council of the European Union and want to put the proposed destination to a vote by double majority. Try out the voting calculator on the Council’s website to see how this system works: europa.eu/!rM38Ru 

• One of you represents the European Commission and takes 1 minute to argue in favour of a certain destination. 
• One of you represents the Secretariat of the Council and is in charge of the voting calculator. 
• The role of minister from each of the 28 EU countries is divided up amongst the other students. 

• Each country then declares whether it is for or against the proposed destination and the vote is recorded in the Council’s voting calculator. 

• What happened? Were you able to agree on the proposed destination? Discuss your thoughts about this with the group. 

Excercise (extra assignment)

If you could introduce a European law, what would you 

suggest? What advantagesand disadvantages would your law have for all citizens of theEuropean Union?
