Books vs Experience

Our philosophy of education and school privileges ______________ over blank _____________ because________________________________.

1. Your group should come up with a thesis that can address the blanks in the above statement.
2. Your thesis statement should be supported by evidence from the readings we have read thus far.
3. Remember you are expressing your group’s thesis.  You are not expressing the thesis of any author.  You are not telling me what Descartes will say.
4. However you may use Descartes or Emerson or Shelly as offering good examples, theories, or points of logic.
5. Hint: a good use of the texts will be comparatively.  If you see a logic unfolding across, or something that they all overlook, it will help you to build a case.

Reminder that for Wednesday, you will read the readings,  work with your temporary groups to do a Theory Think, and then post your own individual posts.

A couple of you have asked for clarity on the Theory Think.  There is a description of the Theory Think assignment on the site.   (It is under Project Check ins, since technically is part of the work that goes into helping you articulate your own theory in your project).

At any rate, you can click HERE to access it;  I have also inserted links to the page on the course schedule.
