critical literacy

Hi….welcome to the critical literacy site!!! This is my first blog for this subject. It’s all about what I have learned in Critical Literacy subject. My lecturer, who teaches me in this subject, is Miss Syida. From her, we learned and free to ask anything to her about this subject. “What we see something, we can’t trust only based on the picture. It’s must be something beside the picture”, and absolutely it is about Critical Literacy subject.

For the 1st week, we learned about news entitled “Convicted Killer back at work”. This news is about a nurse also a convicted killer back at work the convicted killer is a woman, name Deborah Perry who killed her colleague Yvonne Gilford in Dhahran Hospital in December 1996 at Saudi Arabia. However, she back at work after she pay some money to the victim’s family. Based on this new, we need to do a portfolio. The folio must to do based on 10 aspects that already given. It’s seemed what we learned in Sem 2 in ITTL subject.

For the 2nd week, we learned about Rules and Regulations. This topic presented by Fatimah’s group. Actually this week we supposedly to learn about stories and fact. But, there have problems with the first group and need to continue with second group. From what I understand with the presentation, rules mean instructions for behaving in ways which will bring about an intended. Rules are categories under imperative and declarative. Imperative mean give command and talk serious for example I order ‘you’. Declarative mean sound more polite and formal for example I order ‘parent’. Regulations mean a rule that must be obeyed. It made according to official rules. Regulation also has been drawn up primarily to create the atmosphere of a community which authority is absolute it covert and which individual action is discouraged, quiet and stasis enjoy.

After this presentation, Miss Syida ask we to marking the portfolio that have done our friends. We learned how to give marks to the portfolio based on the marking schemes. It’s quiet interesting because we can share and know about other’s view on according to the news that we already learned in 1st week. One thing that sure everyone has different view!!
