Unit 1

In this topic, I learned about the introduction of the subject, Critical Literacy. In the introduction, I learned to investigate the writer of the article, I also learned who the intended reader of the article is and also the reason of the article is written. At first, I thought that the subject is easy to understand. However, after studying the subject in class I found that the subject is very difficult. We have to be very critical in thinking in order to get the answer. Like the lecturer of the subject said, we can never say the opinion is wrong but, we can be whether agree or disagree with the opinion. The interesting information in this topic is when we learned the real intention the writer writes the article. In spite of to give information to the reader, we learned that the writer has implicit information that they want to the audience to know. Maybe the purpose the writer did not want to put the direct information because the writer afraid to be condemning by the reader. As a result, the article they wrote cannot be selling. The concept and terminology that difficult to understand is to fulfill the assignment. It is because there are many concept and idea and we have to be really critical to think the answer. We have to struggle to apply what we have already learned in the class. The reflection to the presentation by Nabil, Anuar, and Rahmat that present the first presentation is satisfactory. It is because, they are the first presenters and there are many to fix. Some of the audience did not get the idea they want to give. However, the lecturer did help them and explain what is unit 1 is all about. Anyway, they have done a good work.
