US 1100 — MODULE 3 — IN-CLASS EXHIBIT ROOM — PART 1 OF 3

Whose Formula Is This?

Work through this with your table. Nobody's grading the sort — the point is what you notice. Your instructor will tell you when to move on to Exhibit B.

Reminder: the lens we're using today

Banking model (Freire) — the module deposits a "correct," universal technique into a student treated as a neutral, empty container. The technique is presented as working the same for everyone.

Liberatory / problem-posing model — student and instructor investigate together, testing a rule against real conditions instead of accepting it as neutral. A "best practice" is a claim to test, not a deposit to accept.

EXHIBIT A

Sort the tools

Eight study tools from this week's module. Tap each one to file it: does it assume you already know how to study, or does it actually teach you something you didn't already know how to do? Tap again to change your answer.

Assumes: 0 Teaches: 0 Unsorted: 8
While you sort: Guess how your table will split before you compare answers. Then pick one card you filed as "assumes" — what would have to be explained for it to become a "teaches" tool instead?
Table talk: What do the tools in the "assumes" pile have in common? Whose study habits, resources, or prior schooling do they take for granted?

Wait for your instructor's go-ahead before continuing.
