Essay 2 Draft 2

Essay 2 Draft 2

Q Using your peer's comments, the Essay prompt and the questions I provided for the peer letter, create a 2nd draft of Essay 2. The essay must be four full pages minimum. Don't forget to create an MLA 8 Works Cited page with the citation that I've created for you here: Freire, Paulo. Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Penguin Education, 1972. This Works Cited Page is worth 50 points. NOTE: PLEASE REVISE. Many students lose points by turning in the same copy of their Essay 2 first draft for their Essay 2 draft 2. In addition to losing points, however, this mistake affects final grades too because these students haven't actually done three revisions of their essays by the end of the semester. The more we revise, the better our work becomes. Your partners worked hard on their responses to you. Make the changes they suggest that make sense for you, and make other changes as you see fit. What can you add to the essay? What can you delete in the essay? What can you move around in the essay? Don't forget to check your MLA formatting. Once you've turned this in, you will get comments from me on Draft 2 for your portfolio revision. Along with the 10 points for your Peer Letter and 5 points for your Essay 1 Draft 1, you will receive a score of 35 points - for a total of 50 points. Here are the questions I will be giving you points for: 1. INTRO & THESIS Does the writer introduce Freire and the concept of problem posing education or the banking method of education immediately in the essay? Does the writer describe the way they will define the focus of their analysis (problem posing or banking)? 2. USE OF PERSONAL EVIDENCE Does the writer refer to specific examples they have experienced in their educational experience? Are more examples needed? 3. DEVELOPMENT OF IDEAS Are there places in the essay that are unclear or confusing? Are all of the ideas in the paragraphs connected to the definition of the pp or banking method of education? The MLA 8 Works Cited page is worth 50 points. As of right now, you are earning a ton more points for doing the assignment than for the quality of the work. This will change with the portfolio at the end of the semester when you will get a new set of points.

The banking concept of education is a traditional teaching method where students are treated as mere store – houses of knowledge and teachers are seen as depositors of knowledge. This old concept of teaching has been prevalent in the society until very recently where people has started to question the impact of this teaching method. Paulo Freire in his text The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education has interpreted this concept very lucidly. Through this essay I’ll be focusing on the topic - why Paulo Freire’s concept of Problem Posing learning is way better than the banking concept of education. According to Paulo Freire, if teachers don’t give students proper scope to evolve on their own, it will create problem in their critical thinking concept building.
