The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to bekindled (Plutarch )

Howto kindleit?

• Accept responsilibity: what`s wrong with it? How can youmake it better?•Do it. If you don`t do it, it won`t exist•Do not be right, it`s wrong to be right• Ask questions• Be critical, rebel against something• Read the world to read the word• Read the word to (re)read and to (re)write the world•…

So, what? She has only been kindling the fire…

Reading is extremely dangerous…

[It can make you (extreeeeeeemely) AWARE , FREE, POWERFUL…]

How many different readings can youmake? Are they countable?

What`s a book?

A paper book? A digital book? Any otherresource providingmaterial for you to think,…?

Things have been changing…

Images source: Internet

Is that so awful that things are changing?

Of course not. It`s quite easy: you only have to refuse being a”

mass man” (Ortega y Gasset; 1929)

Can you see a “niche market” here?

We could. Main business: Thinking

etc, etc, etc,…but,

just because students are digital natives, should we assume they know

Are we proud? Are you proud?

Do you exactly knowwhen/where you started?

we are never

satisfied

That`s thereason why we

continue

Viajar

Em sonhos viajo...Busco sentidos diversosem sinais dispersosem palavras escondidas...E , assim, vou escrevendo

lendo e escrevendoas histórias que sonho,as personagens que imagino,os sentimentos que sinto...E, tu, meu leitor,és meu parceironesta aventura que sonho,viajando.(Lendo-escrevendo.)

Manuela de Fátima (AECG School Librarian)
