Promotion of critical literacy fosters a civic minded community.
Basically, it advocates teaching the skill of viewing texts with a critical lens.
Students learn to ask questions about underlining meanings, examine power structures,
and identify imbalances in equity.
Below are three examples that demonstrate some of my experience teaching
critical literacy in an urban setting. These examples used read-aloud
picture books in a public school's middle grades classroom.
For this invitation, my eighth graders paired up with a kindergarten class to read the text. As a result they chose to write and send letters to President George W. Bush expressing their concerns about the Iraq invasion.
The narrative about the social action has not yet been uploaded.
