CRITICAL LITERACY

Critical Practices (Luke & Freebody, 1997, p. 214)

Which positions, voices, and interests are at play? Which are silent and absent?

What is the text trying to do to me? In whose interest?

What kind of person, with what interests and values, could both write and read this naively and unproblematically?

Beliefs (Luke & Freebody, 1997, p.193)

Institutionally purpose-built repertoires of "selves" are represented in all texts.

We learn about reading a writing position from those responsible for our learning.

All texts are motivated - there is no neutral position

Reading and writing are social activities.
