RE-READING: Ways of Reading Intro & "Learning to Read"
From what is briefly described in the introduction, to your understanding, what is “the banking concept?” Why do you think Freire uses this weird term? Is this how instructors should approach educating students? Do you think this method is effective? What are some pros/cons? How do YOU want to be taught? How do you best learn? How do you suppose Malcolm X would feel about this concept? Was his education, in any way similar to the banking concept? If so, how? And how would that type of education both help and limit/hinder him? If not, what made his education different? What do you expect from ME, as your instructor? What do you expect me to teach you and for you to learn during this class?
Instructions: I do not expect you to answer these questions in order, necessarily. Nor do I want you to create a question-by-question, bullet pointed response. SYNTHESIZE your response.
Read the questions first, consider them and your response AS A WHOLE, then respond. Do your best to address every question at least to an extent.
Don't forget to comment on someone else's post and enter into a CONVERSATION with that writer.
Your posts are due by Monday
Have fun! :)

Welcome!
Now let's test this thing out!
Please comment on this post with anything. You can simply write your name in the comment box or even something like "ajdkjdkjgiug." The goal is simply to see if the blog is functioning properly and everyone can post.
Whatever you post, however, please make sure your name is listed somehow -- either within the comment box or as your username.
