Q Precis #1 Paulo Freire's "The 'Banking' Concept of Education" Format: Click here for Precis handout Directions: So here we go. Your first official precis assignment. The gist of the précis is to capture the essence of the Paulo Freire's argument in "The 'Banking' Concept of Education," NOT THE FREIRE INTERVIEW CLIP in Module 1, and to detail it to the best of your abilities, all in a meager four sentences. You'll want to follow the 4-sentence précis format judiciously, then, as reviewed in class, and especially pay attention to the boldfaced terms in the handout that are specific to each sentence, since I'll need to see those in your precis. Also, for those of you who get closer to the mark regarding the author's implied argument, the higher your score will be. For those of you missing the target, then, certainly, your scores will be lower. MLA: Please note that all typed assignments should be formatted in MLA style. If you're unsure what that is, you'll want to review the handout in the "MLA et al" folder where the rest of the course documents reside in Canvas. Submissions: If you desire feedback on your assignment, please submit as a Word file. Otherwise, a PDF or GoogleDocs file will suffice; however, GoogleDocs files tend not to maintain MLA formatting very well when uploaded into Canvas. So you've been forewarned on that front. Any other file type submissions are discouraged. Farewell: Anything on your mind? Regarding the above, I mean. Message me. Peace.
