- Start with revision. See the checklist in the reader on pages 21-22 and the one in EW on pages 22-23.
- Review essay purpose (topic & method). Make sure you are addressing the prompt.
- Prove your points with specific evidence. Really put your emphasis here.
- Explain your examples.
- If you think the banking concept of education is useful then you need to acknowledge the fact that you are disagreeing with Freire. He believes that the banking concept of education destroys education and makes individuality impossible. Disagreeing with Freire is fine, but not mentioning you disagree makes it seem like you profoundly misunderstand his writing.
- Edit last. See the checklist on page 23 of our reader and page 23 of EW. Don’t rely too heavily on your computer's grammar/spell checker.
- Remember that EW has a glossary of usage, which explains common word errors. You can find it on pages 233-250.
Tough Guise. Please watch the following video for Wednesday. As you watch it, keep certain questions in mind.
- According to Jackson Katz, what are the obstacles young men face to being true to their own identities? Where do these obstacles come from?
- Katz says that concepts of masculinity and violence are connected. Is he convincing in this claim? Do you think that this is culturally reinforced, as Katz argues, or do you think this is a result of nature? Both?
- What are the effects on young men who "take on the tough guise," according to Katz? Do you agree with him?
- How does Katz think young men are going to be able to be "better men"?
- Does Katz offer enough evidence of to support his claims?
- Do your own experiences confirm or deny Katz's claims?
