English 1A Incidents in the Life of a Slave

Banking Concept essay, step one: Begin by analyzing your past experiences in the following the grades: (K-5th grade) elementary school, (6th-8th grade) middle school, (9th-12th grade) high school, and community college and beyond. On a chart that you create, list any impactful experiences you had during your elementary school, middle school, high school, and college years whether positive or negative. Then go back, and analyze whether or not the experiences that impacted you in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college were a part of the banking concept style of education, the problem posing style of education, or was it a mixture of the two styles? If so, please specify what kind of mix you experienced during your years of schooling. Was it 50/50 or was it 60/40 in favor of the problem posing style? Please be specific. The more information that you put into this step, the easier it will be to write your essay. Good luck. 2 Examples: K-5th grade: I attended a “fundamental school” for 4th and 5th grade where the teachers were empowered to spank students. This was a very banking concept way of learning that caused me to be fearful of my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Squires. This was a negative banking concept style experience for me. 6th-8th grade: I was allowed to plan my school schedule for the first time by choosing to take classes in the following subjects: art, math, English, P.E., and social studies. I participated in an English class where the students were encouraged to give input to the teacher and helped plan out the reading assignments. Class size was small, and we had lots of individual attention from the instructor. This was a positive Problem-Posing experience for me.

Banking Concept Essay prompt/topic: Write an essay that focuses on rich and illustrative incidents from your own educational experience and read it (that is, interpret it) as Freire would. You will need to provide careful detail: things that were said and done, perhaps the exact wording of an assignment, a textbook, or a teacher’s comments. And you will need to turn to the language of Freire’s argument, to take key phrases and passages and see how they might be used to analyze your educational experiences from kindergarten to community college.
