I define critical literacy as reading deeper into different texts, and find stronger and deeper meanings to the different texts. It is looking further into a subject using a variety of sources to get a fuller image of a certain time. An example in social studies was used in an article written about Anne Frank. The article tells most students learn about Anne Frank by studying her diary of her life while she was hiding and taken into concentration camps. Teachers usually teach their students the play version of Anne Frank, but if one were to look deeper into the life of Anne Frank then you could learn so much more about her life and the Holocaust. People base their opinions and ideas on the play version, so that is how they base their ideas of Holocaust without fully looking into it more through more sources on Anne Frank, and her original work. If a person studied all sources then they would be able to better understand the Holocaust through the eyes of Anne Frank, but it can't be done on just one source. This opens my eyes on how I need to apply this to my classroom as a teacher. I will obtain different sources, and have my students look deeper into a subject. I would require stronger sources, but not just one when doing research. I want students to look further into a subject and get a feel from all aspects of what took place. I also see the need for me to have good sources readily available to my students to allow them to do the kind of research that helps them learn fully, and then in the end establish a stronger opinion which in the end will help them retain. In my lectures I will also be better prepared to look for myself into deeper studies, and then base my teaching on solid facts from different sources. I also see the need to not have my opinions reflected into my teaching, and I feel if I fully understood something then I won't reflect my opinions in my teaching.
