Critical Literacy

Critical Literacy Dr. Allan Luke Lecture on Critical Literacy Related to critical pedagogy and social justice work of Paulo Freire (Freire, 1998) The active and often resistant engagement with texts (broadly defined) (Stevens & Bean, 2007) A process aimed at exploring (and disrupting) issues of power (Foucault, 1977) A cultural practice directly related to citizenship and democracy (Harper & Bean, 2006) Dr. Allan Luke Lecture on Critical Literacy http://blip.tv/presenting/dr- allanlukeseg5-3020955

Critical Literacy is: One of four processes readers need (Luke & Freebody, 1990): Code breaker Meaning maker Text user Text critic (critical literacy) Critical literacy involves deconstruction of texts “with an eye toward elements of historical, social, and political contexts that permeate and foreground any text” (Stevens & Bean, 2007, p. 9).

Gender Roles Then ( circa 1950’s)

AnD Now…

“Historic Racism??

And Now

Disrupt & Critique Critical Literacy seeks to: Disrupt and critique Provoke multiple interpretations Critique essentialist, simplistic views of issues, people, and things For example, class, gender, and ethnic stereotyping “People in that neighborhood are like that….”

Critical Literacy Habits of Mind In any discourse: Who has their views represented? Who is privileged? Who is left out or silenced? What social, political, economic, gender, and ethnicity elements are at play? (Stevens & Bean, 2007)

Texts are Social Constructions Texts are never neutral Texts can be: Deconstructed and Reconstructed through: Critical questions and discussion

“Zesty”??? Or Sexist? “Once you go Italian you never go back..” ~ Kraft Italian Dressing Commercial

Or just disturbing…

Critical Consumption

Action Steps Start small: incorporate critical literacy questions into lessons using pop culture Bridge to other content material (e.g. textbooks, articles etc.) Bring Awareness to positioning and impact of images and messages. Deconstruct and reconstruct texts with your students

Why this matters…

Your turn… For our next class – This time we “deconstructed” images of gender roles and race. Next time we will “reconstruct” these images through critical literacy: Bring in a text that you feel could be used from a critical literacy perspective for the grade level you would like to teach that reconstructs a negative stereotype.
