//To tie up our examination or perception, we will be having an assessed Socratic discussion in class. The purpose of this discussion is to explore the nature of sense perception and to explore the extent to which our individual and group interpretations influence the knowledge claims we make based on sensory input. Be sure to review the expectations of Socratic discussions to make sure you can contribute in a meaningful way and prepare a page of talking points (to be collected at the end of the discussion) to help organize your thoughts.//

To help generate ideas for your talking points, see Senses in Different Areas of Knowledge Questions

You can also use this pages comments section to brainstorm some initial ideas with other year 12 students.
