Hello all,

   Since some of you still had questions, here’s further clarification on the blog entry protocol.

Let’s get started:

Here are the readings for the next two weeks:

WEEK 3

• Freire, Paulo. (1970). Pedagogy of the oppressed. 30th Anniversary Edition (2000) with an introduction by Donaldo Macedo (71-86). New York: Continuum.
• Freire, P., & Macedo, D. (1987). Chapter 7: Literacy and critical pedagogy (98—110). In Reading the word and the world. London: Routledge.

WEEK 4

• Hammons, Jane. (2001). Bigger than Michael Jordan. High Plains Literary Review XVI (2&3), 138-152.
• Hull, G. & Rose, M. (1990). “The wooden shack place”: The logic of an unconventional reading. College Composition and Communication 4, 3: 287-298.
• Ambe, E.B. (2007). Inviting reluctant adolescent readers into the literacy club: Some comprehension strategies to tutor individuals or small groups of reluctant readers. Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, (50), 8, 632-639.

So, then, here’s how it works: Every week different groups of students will present on articles (pre)assigned them by yours truly. For example, say a group that consists of Julia, James, Alister, Scott, and Jelani are assigned Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, said group will, then, be responsible for presenting on this article to the rest of the class during section. However, this group should not answer any of the questions associated with this article; instead, said group should answer a (any) question other than the questions from the list connected to Freire (i.e., their pre-assigned article for the week). So, in this example, this esteemed group is free answer a (any) question from any of the remaining readings (see above for list).

Please let me know if there are remaining questions.
