REFLECTION TASK 1

READING 1 (BEFORE UNDERSTAND THE FOCUS SKILL)

• After read the word of “critical literacy”, I think this subject is different and more difficult than other subject.
• Do not know what is actually this subject will be teaching about.
• I’ve ever heard about this subject from seniors. Most of them said that this subject is difficult, but if we follow all of the lecturer’s advice and complete all the tasks, it’s not impossible to get higher mark.
• Talking about the practice texts, “Convicted Killer”, at first, I still confusing to find out all the elements that are needed to complete the task.

READING 2 (AFTER LECTURER’S EXPLANATION)

• Fortunately, after Sir Humam give details explanation of Critical Literacy, I can understand what is actually this subject is about.
• In my opinion, it is not too difficult to learn this subject if we give full concentration especially during lecture class. Besides, we also must use all the information that we get in the task given.
• In addition, my understanding towards Sir Humam’s explanation has helped me a lot especially in finding information through “Convicted Killer” text.
• Basically, I have understood all the elements that are needed when we read articles.
• In my opinion, what we have learnt in General English 2 in the last Semester 2 can be used in Critical Literacy subject. For example, we can understand, analyze, criticize, an also explain lots of information only by looking at the Headline and the Picture. But, beware because usually, we will have different story from what we are predicted. So, to avoid from any mistake, we must read and understand all the text is actually about.
• Well, I’m not saying that we are at the wrong side if we first analyze at the headline and the picture because sometimes what we get from both of that are right. So, it’s better to do both of the methods, which analyze the head line and picture, and also read all text carefully till we understand what the text is about.
• I believe that, by following all the above steps, we will not have any difficulties to find all of the elements that we need.
