“Five and a Half Utopias”by Steven Weinberg

Please have out your “Response to Text” handout

and your notes!

Each person at your table is going to choose a

different passage (part) of the text to read, interpret and analyze.

Each person in the group will share his/her findings with the group.

You want to do well so that you can give your table mates good information.

You are still responsible for the information covered in the text so you will want to read the entire article before the Socratic Seminar which is Thursday!!
