Pedagogy of the Oppressed: 30th Anniversary Edition | Paulo Freire

pick

A seminal & important work. So important I had to check it out from the library to read & listen to it simultaneously after having already listened to it once. I‘ve gone & purchased a hard copy too.

I‘m not looking for a gold star; I‘m looking to mine all the gold I can from Freire because American‘s are under exigent circumstances.

This is not a test! Education is under attack. The oppressive regime is here. Read. Educate yourself. Prepare.

ncsufoxes I‘ve had this one sitting on my shelf for a year or two now (probably longer). One I need to prioritize but right now it feels like there‘s too many books to prioritize 1mo

BC_Dittemore @ncsufoxes it truly does feel like there are too many to prioritize. I sorta let instinct guide me. & right now my instinct is telling me to utilize my spare time in different ways. I still have audiobooks though & still work too many hours. Perfect combination! 😅 1mo

Why Read? | Mark Edmundson

I was really gladdened by this statistic - I worried it would be much lower. ❤️

TheKidUpstairs That is higher than I would've guessed! Love to see it 5mo

Pedagogy of the Oppressed: 30th Anniversary Edition | Paulo Freire

pick

I cannot recommend this book enough - it may not be the most “fun” read because it is designed to critically teach and not entertain - but it is necessary and thus, riveting. A famed Brazilian educator who grew up in the slums of Recife, Paulo Freire believes that real, “consciousness-raising” education consists of knowing what our world is, how it came to be that way, what other and better ways we could imagine it, and how to realize those ways.

Cultural Action for Freedom | Paulo Freire

I let out a little Marxist squeal when I saw this on the charity table at the supermarket. Who the hell else in my sadly staunch Tory stronghold of a village is reading Freire?!
I'm all the more encouraged to read it because of a one-star GR review that begins, "This book is Marxist indoctrination of poor people dressed up as a revolutionary education theory," which they've shelved as "Not to be read". Sounds right up my street! ✊?

Suet624 👏 👏 👏 11mo

The_Book_Ninja If someone calls me a Marxist as an insult I feel quite flattered. I do correct them, however, and say I‘m a Trotskyist. 11mo

Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja My Marxist credentials would probably be more impressive if I'd ever read a word he'd written! 😄 11mo

Cuilin How fantastic!! ✊ 11mo

CarolynM I hope you‘re still in a Tory, rather than Reform UK, stronghold after today. 11mo

Bookwomble @CarolynM It would be awful to lurch even further right, but my hope is on being at least in a Labour area. Green would be better, but one step at a time 😊 11mo

Syllabus: Notes from an Accidental Professor | Lynda Barry

pick

This book was SO much fun. If you‘re a teacher, journaler, artist, writer, or looking for any interdisciplinary course content, this is the book. She has her students drawing, reading, writing, remembering poems and creating their own books in composition books. It‘s just wonderful!

dabbe @JanuarieTimewalker13 I've tried, but I find I can't come up with good ideas. Maybe I could just copy yours! 💙🩵💙 13mo

JanuarieTimewalker13 @dabbe sincerely, it‘s within you. Syllabus would help you. She has some fun ideas. I start with what I‘m thinking and what‘s going on or an observation or a dream or anything. As far as decorating, there‘s so much fun stuff out there!! I‘ve used cut outs from BookPage, Real Simple, WorldWildlife Fund…a lot of free stuff. What‘s you start, it just takes over and you get to tap into the creativity that is sometimes lost once childhood is over. (edited) 13mo

JanuarieTimewalker13 I‘ve even used wrappers, and pieces of old books, etc. for the markers, stickers, washi, there‘s so many places to get stuff you do t even have to leave the house. My top 3 I would say is Stationery Pal, JournalSay, Jet Pens. Also a lot of fun stuff on Etsy 13mo

JanuarieTimewalker13 If you go on YT, there are tons of channels to view and some people even use journaling prompts…I think Helen from TheCoffeeMonsterzCo has prompts available somewhere. 13mo

dabbe @JanuarieTimewalker13 I'll check it out! Thanks! 💙🩵💙 13mo
