Critical Literacy |
Teaching critical literacy so students adopt and use the four learners like text user, meaning maker, text analyzer and code breaker. Put them in groups and let them explore bias, so they can form an opinion and defend their position. This is how I teach a facet of social action
Critical literacy goes beyond conventional, critical thinking, because it focuses on questions about fairness, equity, and social justice.
Students learn that texts are not neutral: all texts in some way reflect the choices, positions, and beliefs of their creators, and could be constructed differently to present different perspectives
Questioning is at the heart of critical literacy programming suggest the following key questions:
What is the topic?
How is it being presented?
What themes and discourses being expressed?
Who is writing to whom?
Whose positions are being expressed?
Whose voices and positions are not being expressed?
What is the text trying to do to you?
What other ways are there of writing about the topic?
What was not said about the topic? Why? |
