Overall of the Critical Literacy

Assalamualaikum Mdm. How are you today? Hope you are in a good condition. Today, I want to conclude overall of our discussion on Critical Literacy subject that consist of 8 blogs which are reading 1.1 (Convicted killer), reading 2.1 (Battling the bullies), reading 3.1 (Please let me go to your school), reading 4.1 (Body language that speaks to muggers), reading 5.1 (Australia’s methadone madness), reading 6.1 (Invasion of baby snatchers), reading 7.1 (Dieting) and reading 8.1 (Drugs or guns). At first, when I heard about Critical Literacy subject, I’m scared. This is because everyone said that this subject is difficult to catch up on. This is maybe because Critical Literacy is a new subject for semester four which is different from all semester three’s subjects. Besides, we need to think critically. Actually, I’m not that good in critical thinking but I tried my very best to finished all the assessment that was assigned for me by Mdm Imasuzieyana Ibrahim. When I have finished the part of doing assignment and homework in the classroom, I always feel like whether what I’m doing is true or not. I always confused with the work that I have done. Then, I will ask my friends and Mdm itself to clarify whether the work that I have done is true or not. And then, they will tell me briefly about something that I need to know. I’m always wondering whether they like it or not when I’m always and keep asking questions to them. I hope that my friends and Mdm itself would not get mad of me or maybe bored to explain even single and easy problems to me. From this Critical Literacy subject, I found that I have better improvement in reading skills by applying skimming and scanning skills of the text. From the skimming and scanning skills, I could complete the ten elements that are required by the text or article. I also know about the meaning of the glossary that was provided in the blue book by referring to the red book which is the text book of Critical Literacy. From the first till the last article given to me, I started to learn more and more about Critical Literacy subject. It becomes interesting from time to time doing the ten elements. Sometimes I also feel like bored, stress and tension when I have to finish the ten elements that required me to think critically. And I think that it is one of the toughest and challenging subject to me in semester four. After we have finished this Critical Literacy subject, I feel so relieve because I do not have to think critically anymore. But I think that I’m going to miss doing the ten elements by think critically using my useful brain. Hehehe. Overall, this subject is interesting. This Critical Literacy subject also improves my reading and writing skills. By reading the text or article, I started to know and learn on how the sentence structured such as it using present or past tense to structure the sentences. Furthermore, I also can improve my grammar. Besides, I’m also being able to expand and increase my vocabulary by doing the ten elements and blogs. Actually, I would love to continue typing, comment and give response to fill in this blog but then I’m a bit sleepy right now. Shall we continue for the next blog???? But there is no more blog right????? Hehehe…Anyway, I want to thanks to Mdm Imasuzieyana Ibrahim for taught us a lot about Critical Literacy that is very critical to explain too. Also thank you for your hard work for teaching us in the class. I could see your efforts that want to explain more and more in order to make us understand on particular topics. I hope that you are satisfied with every inch of my comment and responses in my blogs and also my assignment and assessment in the classroom. I also would like to ask for more marks from you. Hehehe. Take care Mdm. Bye bye...
