What I Gained from Critical Literacy

The journey nearly comes to the end.  Since this is my last entry for this blog, I want to share my opinion and comments throughout this semester. I still remember, before attending the class, I have no clue what this subject is all about except the ‘horror’ stories that my seniors told me about how ‘critical’ was this subject. Hehe.. Well it does wreck my nerves. But now my perspective has changed. Special thanks to my beloved lecturers!

Unlock it!

From what I have learnt, Critical Literacy does change my perspective when finding solutions for problems. After learn this subject much deeper, I now know on how to think critically. This subject really helps me to develop the idea creatively. I did a lot of research, in order to come out with good ideas and complete the tasks given. Despite that, I also have a group discussion with my friends to view their perspective, so that I won’t be out of the track.

Solve it

In this subject, I learn the Rule of Ten, a technique that guides me to find the ideas and solutions. I still remember when we got our first assignment and I’m quite confused at first when doing it. Many people said that it is hard as we need to think critically. Stay calm, and try to unlock the critical and creative sides in your brain. We need to hear others perspective as well in order to make sure ours is on the right track. So gather with friends and discuss helps a lot rather than doing it by yourself.

There's nothing impossible in this world, as long as you keep trying.

What I can say is that, students should be given more ample time to really understand the learning process. As this subject need us to think out of the box, it requires time for us to achieve a logically ideas. There should be a longer time for us to understand each topic profoundly. Thinking critically is a new thing for us to explore. I really enjoy this subject as it exposed the other side of me and my ability to think beyond. CL makes a transformation on how I  view on something.

Don't afraid to make mistakes. We learn from it!

  Thanks to Madam Aidah and Madam Zariati for teaching me this subject. Without them, I’m totally lost. Also to my classmates, who are always shares the bittersweet moment together. I tried to give my best effort on this subject. I’m agreed that this subject should be mastered by each student. Whatever it is, try to solve the puzzles. I hope that after this I will become a better person when it comes to the time of being a critical thinker.
