Assignment 1c

1. Tell us their name and something about them.

a.Katherine goes by Katy. She lives 1.5 miles from campus. This is her 3rd Humanities class.
b.Rhianon lives 9.6 miles away from campus, and this class is her first blog.

2. Tell us 2 things from each person you learned regarding Paulo Freire.

a.From Katy's assignment 1b I learned that Paulo Freire's book "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" sold over 750,000 copies worldwide. I also learned that he worked with the Christian Democratic Agrarian Reform movement.
b.Rhianon's assignment 1b taught me that while Paulo was in law school he studied psychology of language. He had 5 children with first wife Elza Maria Costa de Oliveria.

3. Tell us how this information will relate to our study of humanities

I think that Paulo Freire's ideas will relate to way that we study humanities based on his idea that students are in charge of their own learning, and are not the "bank" in which money is being deposited to. So far, I think that this first project has integrated his ideas into it. The blogs are a great way for all of the students and the instructor to learn about eachother and to share our work with oneanother.
