Week 3 Project 3c

Comments to Matthew's the first paragraph:
The 300 sugarcane workers provided Paulo Freire the opportunity to offer his theories to a class of people that stood to gain new found power from literacy. Learning to read and write, the workers could have a voice in determining their country's direction by participating in the voting process and communicating their ideas for change!

Comments to Matthew's the 2nd paragraph:
While Freire was exiled, he soon realized that Brazil was not the only country struggling with illiteracy. He applied his theories to other countries with success with worldwide recognition.

Comments to Champagne's first paragraph:
As Paulo Freire stressed, understanding the world around you was critical before one could begin to read the world! Just as infants first learn to crawl and than to stand and walk!

Comments to Champagne's 3rd paragraph:
Freire had a special need to help the very poorest struggling class. As the silent cultures, he provided them literacy; a voice and a chance to be heard!

Paulo Freire's ideas apply to this course in that as we gain an understanding of the way people's different cultures communicate, can help in understanding the best methods to educate and basically learn how to learn!
