Interesting things happen when Philip challenges Miss Narwin and the Harrison School District by singing The Star-Spangled Banner during homeroom, in violation of the school's policy. This PDF file of Socratic Seminar Questions contains twenty-six carefully crafted questions on seven pages. The first six pages have four questions each.

All of the questions can be used to facilitate in-class discussions about the novel.Each page contains questions related to one or a group of chapters (page 1 = Chapters 1-9; page 2 = Chapters 10-11, page 3 = Chapter 12, etc.).
