The Composition by Antonio Skarmeta & Alfonso Ruano
Questions to consider for critical understanding
• Who created this resource?• For what purpose was it created?• Is the information accurate and believable?• What does the author want you to think?• Whose voices are missing, silenced, or discounted?• How does it help you think about social issues and
justice?
Critical Literacy… • All texts are constructions
• All texts contain belief and value messages
• Each person interprets messages differently
• Texts serve different interests
• Each medium develops its own “language” in order to position readers/viewers in certain ways
