Points
For extra credit, students will write a blog (title: Extra Credit) on the Chomsky video we partially watched in class. For every 100 words, you write, you will be awarded ONE point extra credit on your quiz grade, up to five points. For every 100 words you write beyond 500 words, you will be awarded extra credit on your midterm exam, up to five points.
Task
First, summarize what you believe to be the most important three points of Chomsky's interview; these can be the points you found most interesting. React to each point by reflecting on what you find valuable, challenging, or interesting about it. You could agree, disagree, or both.
Then, reflect on how your own educational experiences compared to Chomsky's: what was most memorable about your own education? What teachers influenced you, and why?
Finally, Chomsky makes connections between his pedagogical philosophy and the larger importance of education to American culture and democracy. After defining yours, can you connect your pedagogical philosophy to these larger dimensions of life? What is this all for? What should we be doing and why?
