HW for M/W classes and for Monday night 1A class


Here are your next 3 assignments. (This will bring you up to 9 posts total. You will get 3 more next Monday.) 

a

1. For this assignment, please watch this video interview with Jeff Duncan Andrade. Please write a post in response to this interview. Here are some questions to consider (you don't need to do them all)
What seems to be his philosophy of education? What do you think about his philosophy? Why is he such a badass lol? In what ways does this interview speak to or reflect your own experiences with education?

2. For this assignment you are asked to see if you can find your own video to embed and write a post about. The video should have some relationship to education. It can be explicitly about education, like the two videos above, or it can be a video that perhaps talks about education in a more symbolic or metaphorical way. (For example, one student picked a video of a person bungee jumping whose cord broke. The student wrote about how that could be a metaphor for education.) What ever video you pick, you should write a post that explains why you picked it and how it relates to education.

3. For this assignment you are asked to pick any two chapters from Why School? to read and write about. (Of course, don't pick 9 and 10--we already did those.) Once you read the chapters, you are asked to write a post that explores these questions: What seems to be the main ideas of each chapter? How does your personal educational experience relate to the content of the chapter? What is your opinion of the main ideas of each chapter?
