Pedagogy of the Oppressed Ch. 2 x Plato's Meno
Pedagogy of the Oppressed Ch. 2 x Plato's Meno
Order Description
this is an analytical paper for a freshman undergraduate in" rel="nofollow">intro philosophy course on two sources that were discussed in" rel="nofollow">in class. I have chosen Plato's Meno and Chapter 2 of Paulo Friere's Pedagogy of
the Oppressed. Neither are very long reads and are easy sources to fin" rel="nofollow">ind onlin" rel="nofollow">ine. The prof. asks for textual evidence and only to use the two sources chosen. Thin" rel="nofollow">ings discussed in" rel="nofollow">in class are not
important. "The paper should proceed through a coherent thesis that explain" rel="nofollow">ins the significance of the implication arisin" rel="nofollow">ing from your in" rel="nofollow">interpretation of the texts. Make sure you have a clear argument
that illumin" rel="nofollow">inates why readin" rel="nofollow">ing the two texts together is helpful." Do not simply compare/contrast. The essay should have somethin" rel="nofollow">ing to do with 'knowledge' or 'education' as that is the title of the
unit that this essay is the conclusion to.

Advice I took down in" rel="nofollow">in notes:
Your argument should avoid takin" rel="nofollow">ing the shape of Author X is right/wrong/good/bad while Author Y is the opposite, thin" rel="nofollow">ink about what questions about topic T author Y allows us to ask or answer that we
would not have been able to if we had only focused on author X. Be sure to articulate a clear implication (a "so what?") fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ing and articulatin" rel="nofollow">ing an implication is the hardest part of framin" rel="nofollow">ing a
strong argument.
