Critical literacy is like a close reading. You are taking a close look at the text and learning to apply the ideas to the final product. Some ideas that I have been thinking about for a while are simple yet easy to implement into the classroom. Today it is so easy for students to get their hands on some sort of technological device. I know as an English teacher I will most likely at one point in time teach Romeo and Juliet, it's just a given. I idea that I had for this is having the students pair up and text each other a passage from Romeo and Juliet, but put it in their speech. I think this will help them learn to understand the language of Romeo and Juliet plus it will be something that students can relate to :-). Another subject that students struggle with is poetry. I would like students to write their own poem and somehow make a video out of it. I think it would be fun for students to make a video and hopefully it will teach them that poetry is not all that boring. There are so many ideas out there that we can use to incorporate multimedia into old literacy and make it both fun and informational.
