emotional arguments

textual evidence
random speculation

Explanation:

• In a Socratic Seminar, the outer circle's role is to observe and track aspects like participation, listening, and evidence use. Grading is not the main goal (it's more about observation and learning from the process). Participating in discussion is the inner circle's job. Remaining silent is not the purpose - they are active in tracking.
• Socratic Seminar is centered around dialogue. A monologue is one - sided, a lecture is a one - way presentation, and a debate is more adversarial. Dialogue allows for exploration and understanding through conversation.
• Socratic Seminars encourage textual evidence. Emotional arguments and personal opinions without evidence lack the academic rigor. Random speculation is not based on facts. Textual evidence helps in building well - reasoned discussions.

Answer:

• First question: To track participation, listening, and evidence use
• Second question: Dialogue
• Third question: Textual evidence
