This unit continues what I have learned in the previous unit; producing and evaluating critical writing. The end of this unit follows with our last assignment for this subject, which is critical review. We are also given the opportunity to critique another student’s writing. There is only one reading for this unit, which is ‘Drugs and guns’.
There is no concept or terminologies of the text that is difficult to understand and the text also clearly shows the writer’s stance that is negative. The use of the president’s photo also shows that the writer is condemning the president and the government.
The text is shorter than the text in the previous unit but somehow it is mind-boggling. I need to read it not just for once. The text is about problem in South African government on AIDS and arms. The problem creates controversies and eventually shakes the position of the president Thabo Mbeki as many questioned his decision spending $6 billion on weapons, because it shows that he is more concern about the country’s safety rather than the health of the people.
At the end of this unit, we need to focus on our final assignment that is the critical review. The review is more or less needs us to apply the skills that we have learnt in this unit and the previous unit.
Overall I think I have gain all the knowledge on critical literacy layer by layer by learning all the skills in the 8 units. But still, I need to read a lot and evaluate all the readings using all the skills that I have learned so that I can polish all the skills. If not, I am not being able to be a good critical reader or writer, like what is aimed in learning this subject.
