24. Now you write…
a) Imagine this project in Colombia. Where
could it be? How might it be different? How
would your paisanos react?
b) Is there anything in Colombia like this?
Describe briefly.
c) Were some top Colombian artists to go to
the U.S. to make a project like the Running
Fence uniquely Colombian, what would they
do?
25. Hopefully achieved…
• On teaching culture: compare, contrast, and
avoid stereotypes or over-reliance on pop and
mainstream culture.
• On the class culture: share, share, share (even
writing)
• On the perfect class: education is
communication and dialogue (Freire) applied
to relevant issues and real contexts (Meddings
& Thornbury)
