Asynch Week

This week our Book Groups were expected to use our class time to meet and organize our work for presentation. Because the others were working, and before the meeting, I found a suitable, free template on SlidesGo and created an outline for our work. I attempted to organize it in a way that would be useful for the others.

In the end, they used the template and many of the slides but decided to go with a different way of presenting that better fit with the way we could look at the book through an Equity lens. I found this to be somewhat disturbing because before I realized the slant of the presentation, our group was formed with all Caucasian members. I normally would invite someone who seemed to not be included in a group but didn’t have the chance. In the end, after many meetings, I found that race aside, we were quite a diverse bunch even though the others didn’t want to share the details in a class.

I am looking forward to reading the other book options. I have acquired them all.

The other books are:

Pedagogy of the Oppressed

Teaching to Transgress

The Beautiful Risk of Education
