Reading Blog #3: Freire 'Reading the World'

Summary/Main Ideas

  • Experiencing the world is a way of reading 
  • How you could know of a word before you've even seen it 
  • Pre-writing
Quotes/Annotations

1. Quote: "The teacher cannot put it together for the student; that is the students creative task"(Freire 10).
Annotation: This experience the author explains cannot be taught to you. It is everyone's own experience is what teaches you.

2.Quote: "Only by learning the significance could they know how to memorize it, to fix it" (Freire 8).
Annotation: You are likely to memorize something better when it physically happens.

3. Quote: " To sum up, reading always involves critical perception, interpretation, and re-writing what is read" (Freire 11).
Annotation: I like this quote because of how it is worded. Experiences will allow you to learn about words before actually knowing them.

Questions

1. At what age does re-writing start to kick in?
