Critical Literacy

• Juxtaposing Texts on similar topics and compare various ranges of perspectives
• Examining alternative endings from various media and highlight values and expectations
• Use texts from everyday life
• Advertising
• Legal Contracts
• Posing questions that foster thinking about issues of language, text and power dynamics
• Background influence
• Influence on you and your values
• Type of language used
• Values and viewpoint of the text
• Assumptions of the text
• Perspectives that may have been omitted
• Interests being catered to by the text

It is also important to note that it is okay for students to choose if they wish to agree with or against the text being presented and offer validation as to why they have chosen such a side. Engage in meaningful discussions with peers and their stance might change, which is a good thing.

Teachers in this fashion can focus on inquiry based discussions but also ensuring it is a safe, inclusive learning environment. Allow students to explore multiple ways to express their views using tools and digital platforms. In this way, teachers can learn more about the background influences that a student brings into the classroom and how it is being used within their learning and understanding of concepts. Teachers should make sure that all forms of texts from various cultural backgrounds are included within their lessons.
