What is Critical Literacy?
Critical literacy views readers as active participants in the reading process and invites them to move beyond passively accepting the text’s message to question, examine, or dispute the power relations that exist between readers and authors. It focuses on issues of power and promotes reflection, transformation, and action (Freire, 1970).
Seeing Multiple Perspectives: An Introductory Critical Literacy Lesson
Critical literacy that is well explained with multiple classroom activities. I love watching the experts do it!
Get all your students into the highest levels of Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT) today with these language sentence frames. Critical thinking was important long before the Common Core, but the Common Core documents are embedded with "critical thinking"... "evaluate and justify"..."read critically"..."close analytical reading" etc.
Read Alouds are excellent ways to teach so much. Critical Literacy is just another way to utilize Read Alouds in your classroom.
