Yahoo Discussion Group: Building Communities
Free form basically describes the way that Susan and I teach. We try to avoid specific instructions and standardized testing because they leave very little room for the student's choice of material that interests him in studying, and they don't encourage you to incorporate the learning into your own apperceptive mass, so that it will become truly yours.
The projects we ask you do are linked to your learning, but they are linked as much by what they mean to you as by their connection to social and criminal justice. Such linkage permits what I'm calling "deep learning." Learning in which you make the new information your own through application to your values, beliefs, interests, needs.
That's the first rule that free form breaks. The learner shall be entitled to pursue the learning in a context that makes sense to her.
