THE CRITICAL LITERACY

 What is Critical Literacy? That is my first thought about this subject that I will taken in semester 4. There are a lot of grievances comments from the previous senior that this subject is hard to understand and difficult to get an A. “You must be well-prepared when you face this subject as it’s quite different from any subject that you had taken, most of us are not satisfied with our result and some of us even have to repeat this subject” said one of the former senior. At first, I was not very concern about it but after I heard this kind of statement from the senior I began to feel restless and worried about this subject. They also said that “ You need to do a lot of reading and give a full effort to passed this subject because this subject will force you to practice a lot of thinking and test your understanding skills in different level of situation”. I presume that this is a killer subject that I will faced this semester and feel nervous what will happened to me?.

 I’m quite terrified when I taken this subject as I will have the same situation like the previous senior but I make it as a challenge that I can overcome it. When I study this subject I agreed with the seniors that this subject is tough but I also gain a good  benefit through this subject that will help me in the future. Despite all the comments and view about this subject I take it as a positive way, after all this subject can help me to approach and improve my reading and thinking skills in critical level to find solution in particular problems, This subject is an accessed  to a greater knowledge that is essential for academic and even in our daily life. To have a good result in Critical Literacy I need to spend a lot of time by doing research and reading as it use our critical thinking to answer the question.

 Moreover, this subject exposed to us in learning environment which is good and enable we as a students to have a good perspective and able to analyze any article in Rule of 10. With critical thinking I can provide a lot of ideas and arguments to find any evidence from any text whether it’s a fact or opinion. This subject is quite fun actually as all we need to do is to read and practice our mind to give a brilliant results as we can create awareness on current issues in society and even the world like the missing plane MH370 that many people give a lot of speculation about the case.

 In this semester, I hope that I can perform well in this subject and fully understand what this subject is all about especially in the Rule of 10 that is essential for all semester 4 students to master in order to passed this subject. I have to give my full concentration to avoid any confusing things and I really need to change my learning method and thinking as a grown up to get an A in this subject even it is not easy to achieve. Also, I wished that I can have a better thinking and not failed in this subject same goes to all semester 4 that involved in this subject I wish to you all good luck and able to achieve our own goal in this subject.
