| Abstract: | Paideia Seminar is a method for facilitating Socratic discussions about different types of texts, whether they be texts in the literal sense of the word or any other object that represents ideas or values. In this article, we describe how teachers can implement Paideia Seminar to spark deep thinking and rich discussion among early elementary students using works of art as the focus. The value in using images for Socratic discussion with younger students is that the barriers of literacy are removed, allowing students with big ideas to participate regardless of their literacy level. This strategy is especially useful for challenging gifted thinkers who are not yet proficient readers. Here we describe the process of developing and facilitating Paideia Seminars with art in early elementary settings. Resources, ideas, and sample seminar plans are also provided.
