  • Critical literacy is a process not a product. Teachers have complex roles: we are teachers of language but we also open spaces for people with voices to speak and be heard.

  • Critical literacy is about analysing from different perspectives, coming to think with an open mind, trying to make sense of the world.

  • All classes are diverse!
