STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING CRITICAL MULTILITERACIES
What is critical literacy?
Luke (2004) states that Critical Literacy involves questioning, seeing behind and beyond texts, trying to figure out how these texts establish and use power over people, on whose behalf and in whose interests the texts were written.
According to this, Freire & Macedo (1987) claim that decodifying or reading the situations pictured, takes students to achieve a critical perception of the meaning of culture by leading them to understand how human practices transforms the world.
Producing counter texts
According to Edward H.Behrman, a counter text or counter narrative is a student created text that presents a topic from a nonmain-stream perspective.
Producing counter texts can serve to validate the thoughts, observations, and feelings of students and other underrepresented groups.
Modelling
The patterning of thoughts, beliefs, strategies, and actions after those displayed by one or more models.
Usually teachers or parents who explain and demonstrate skills. (Schunk & Zimmerman, 1997)
Recksiek (2005) found Positive effects of modelling on attitudes, reading behaviours, and progress in reading resulted.
Scaffolding
A process by which a teacher provides students with a temporary framework for learning.
When scaffolding is done correctly, students are encouraged to develop their own creativity, motivation, and resourcefulness.
As students gather knowledge and increase their skills on their own, fundamentals of the framework are dismantled.
