unit 3..

In this unit, it focus on posisioning in critical literacy.Positioning is how does the writer construct the participant in the text and how is the reader constructed. In reading 3.1, the article is very intresting. From reading the article,I can see how the writer discribe about the participant.For example, in reading 3.1, the reader can see how the writer discribe about Scarlett's who was not accepted to be at school because of her disabilities. When I learn this unit, i hope it can help me to develop my skll in writing the positioning for critical writing later.

what I have learned in unit 2...

In unit 2, I have learned about the role of perspective in determining a critical understanding of the text. Perspective is the stance does the writer take in the text. It was the further practice of skills for me to apply in critical literacy. in reading 2.2, it is about the topic’ Language, perspective, ideology’, written by Lee,D. the article explain how important language in writing. The way of language that we used can reveal our ideology or perspective.

in reading 2.3, the readers will know the writer’s values, attitudes, and perspective by the words that the writer use, sentence structure and other pattern of language. It is interesting in writing portfolio of ‘Battling the bullies’, in reading 2.1 compare with writing portfolio for reading 1.1 because I am already learned how to put the correct answers under the p-particular heading. Before this I am confused between the perspective and positioning, but now, after learned about it I know which one perspective and which is not. From the article ‘Battling the bullies’, the reader will know the writer perspective toward the topic base on the words that the writer used. in this units, it is more difficult words that I found. Such as, paradigmatic and syntagmatic. Paradigmatic means the relating of choice or pattern of words in sentence structure. While, syntagmatic is the relating of choice or pattern of sentence structure.

what i learn in unit 1...

In unit 1, I have learned the new way of approaching a text critically. It focuses on the text as a product: produce by someone, for someone, and for particular purpose. This is most important element in critical literacy in develop the text. It become interesting learn this unit especially in reading1.1. There is a news article in the reading. The topic of the article is ‘Convicted killer back at work’. After read the article, I need to gain the important information to put in particular heading. Each heading is for the particular answer to make people know the whole of the article about.
In this unit, I have found the terminology that are difficult to me to understand. They are between perspective and positioning. They are quite confused for me. They like a same thing because both of them based on the way how the writer has wrote to inform readers about her/his stand.
At first of reading the article I just simply write the important information under the heading without elaborate more. However after learn the skills; I know how to write it critically.

critical literacy....

Critical literacy, it sounds like a very difficult subject. In this subject, I need to do a lot of reading. At first, it is impossible for me to read all the reading text. Sometimes, it make me tension because I have the problems to understand the whole readings. However, after the explanations by the subject lecturer, it becomes easy. After that, I have realized that this subject can help me to develop my skills in writing critical reviews of academic studies. Other than that, I also can develop my understanding of the issues and the concepts too.
