•OnlineRead & Learn Italian: La vita di...María Montessori
OnlineIn our series about famous Italians, let’s meet Maria Montessori (1870-1952). She was one of the most influential pedagogues of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, developing an educational method that currently guides over 15,000 schools in dozens of countries. Montessori was never merely a teacher, however. She was a psychologist, anthropologist, doctor, cultural critic, philosopher and feminist. From her childhood, she broke barriers for women in Italy, such as by attending a science and engineering school traditionally reserved for male students and then becoming one of the first women to attend (and graduate from) medical school.
Audience: For English speakers learning Italian at the intermediate level.
The Plan:
- We will all read the presentation in Italian within smaller groups/breakout rooms.
- We will translate the passages into English.
- We will gather back in the main room to reflect on the reading and discuss our thoughts.
