1. What are Critical Literacies?
- Students challenge the text by asking question and raising their own ideas about the text
- Students interpret what the author was trying to say
- Literacy is everywhere and needs to be looked at as a whole (reminds me of LMC, "educate the whole student")
- Across curriculum questioning
- Be an active reader - participate
- multi-perspective
- Four Literacy Practice
- Code Breakers - every letter has a sound, etc.
- Text Participants - prior knowledge and experience
- Text Users - form, audience, purpose
- Text Critic - comprehension
- Critical Literacy = Creative Literacy
- Goal: Confident and independent students (know themselves as a learner, good and bad)
- Teacher Clip: predictions and thoughts (part of Common Core); read-a-loud/think-a-loud, collaboration with others, oral/writing/reading
- Language is powerful!
- Language is used to make readers feel a certain way (same idea as videos but just with words)
- Examples: "raided" "sweatshop" instead of saying factory (sweatshop is viewed as a negative word whereas factory is not)
- Vocabulary exposure
