Romina González's English III Blog

Hi guys! This is maybe the last blog that I write and I'm going to talk about an expert in my field that, unfortunately, the university don't teach us much about him. His name is Paulo Freire, he was a Brazilian educator and philosopher who formalized the Critical Pedagogy and accomplished one of the most significant works: The Pedagogy of the Oppressed. During the 60's, he did a campaign in Brazil to teach poor and illiterate people to read, write and fight against their oppressors. Almost two million illiterate adults would participate in the work of 20.000 cultural circles throughout the country. Freire was incarcerated during 70 days in 1964 when the dictatorship started in Brazil, being accused of preach comunism and his method of literacy was forbidden.

 Hi guys! how are you? Today i'm going to show you my favourite picture The picture shows my nephew Thomás, on his first day of face to face classes after the pandemic.

One year later, they started having face to face classes in small groups, with masks and they weren't allowed to play or get too close to each other, so it wasn't the same. But in 2022, when I took this photo, it was different. Nobody was wearing masks, all the classmates were hugging each other and Thomás was so happy, I mean, just look at his adorable face.  I'm sorry for being too "chocha" but his like my own son. Well, that's all, guys. See ...
