Webcast:November 29, 2007 Today's students live in the information age. They are bombarded with vast amounts of information in a variety of forms and must become critical consumers and users of information in order to be successful in school and beyond. Critical literacy allows students to be active and challenging participants as they respond to texts of all types. It provides students with a lens through which to look critically at written, visual, spoken, multimedia, and performance texts, to challenge the intent and content, and to get the most enjoyment and deepest meaning out of text. In relation to classroom practice, students' learning experiences must help them to assume a critical stance when responding to or creating texts. This webcast will explore what critical literacy is, why it is essential, and what it might look like in an elementary classroom.
This webcast is intended to promote professional dialogue and positive action toward improving student achievement. Featuring: Critical_Literacy.
