Teaching the Classics: A Socratic Method for Literary Education is a highly regarded video seminar with accompanying workbook by Adam and Missy Andrews that teaches parents how to lead meaningful, discussion-based literature studies using the Socratic method.
Instead of relying on pre-written study guides, this seminar equips parents with the tools and confidence to ask thoughtful questions that help students deeply analyze any work of literature from picture books to classic novels.
Key Curriculum Features:
- Teaches the Socratic method of literary discussion, focusing on asking questions rather than giving answers
- Focuses on the core elements of literature: Plot & Conflict, Setting, Character, Theme, Literary Devices, and Context
- Uses short stories as teaching tools, then applies the method to longer works including The Iliad, Macbeth, Great Expectations, and To Kill a Mockingbird
- Includes a comprehensive Socratic List of questions organized by classical stages (Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric)
- Emphasizes critical thinking, worldview analysis, and character development through literature
- Suitable for parents and teachers; children can participate in the discussions
Program Components:
- 8-DVD Seminar: Eight one-hour lectures (revised and expanded with new content)
- 120-page Workbook/Syllabus: Lecture notes, short story texts, graphic organizers, suggested curriculum plans, and daily lesson plan examples
- Socratic List: A powerful appendix with carefully crafted questions for literary analysis
Teaching the Classics stands out as the foundational seminar that gives parents the “big picture” and practical tools for leading rich literature discussions. It is an excellent investment for homeschool families who want to move beyond worksheets and teach their children how to think deeply about what they read.
