In unit 1, I learned the introduction of Critical Literacy. Unit 1 shows me the different way to approach a text, not just read and understand the text itself. There are three readings on the topic which are ‘Convicted killer back at work’, ‘Stories and facts’ and ‘Rules and regulations’. I learned that there are three ways to approach a text: a text is produced by someone, produced for someone else and have its particular purpose.
In this unit, the information that I found interesting is I learned how to read a text in a critical way. I learned how to read and make my mind think at the same time. Not just read. For example when I read the text ‘Convicted killer back at work’, apart of just reading, I analysed the text as well when I did the portfolio. Other than that, I learned to differentiate stories and facts, procedure of writing and what is report. I finally knew that reports make general, not specific statements. Interesting information that I found in the last reading is that rules are set of behaviour. The writer is obeyed by the reader and the audience.
There are also few things in the topic that I think are quite difficult to understand. For example when I do the portfolio for reading 1, ‘Convicted killer back at work’, I was quite confused with the term perspective and positioning. I found that the two terms are quite similar.
When I read ‘Convicted killer back at work’ for the first time, I only understand briefly what the text is all about. Nevertheless when I finished doing the portfolio task, I have understood more. I know what actually the writer was trying to deliver to the audience, who is the intended audience, and the content of the text in depth.
To summarise, after I finished learning topic 1, I am more eager and interested in learning Critical Literacy. I also understand that in Critical Literacy subject, I have to read a lot, not to just finish reading the texts in the reading book. I also need to have the idea of the whole text briefly before the lecturer explains me more. Topic 1 is basically introducing me to the subject Critical Literacy and helps me to expect what I will learn in the next topic.
