Short Answer
1. Who is Paulo Freire, and what is his philosophy concerning education?
Teaching Suggestion: It may be helpful to define the term “pedagogy” for students as this term is included in the book’s title and is also mentioned often in discussions of Freire and his work.
2. What does the term “conscientization” mean, and how does it have its roots in Freire’s philosophy?
Teaching Suggestion: It may be helpful to present this term as one of the unit’s main themes, and you might consider introducing it as a theme that can, in many ways, encompass the other two themes of the unit.
