CRITICAL LITERACY

REFLECTION UNIT 4

1.The information that is interesting in this unit is learning about argument and evidence. From this unit I know that not all article or text includes argument and evidence. There are also some text that does not have the argument and evidence. Although it is quite tough to understand this unit, the information given makes this unit become more interesting.

2.The concepts and terminology that are difficult to understand in this unit are to know the argument or case being stated, the evidence that provided to support the argument and to find out whether the evidence supports the evidence or not. It is also quite difficult to understand reading 4.3 that is concerned about the issue of evidence and it is the same with reading 4.4, which is about the use and misuse of statistics and is intended to caution readers into a more informed response to text that link facts and figures.

3.In this unit I do read the article “burning out at nine”. In this article have all of the items needed to make a portfolio. However I am not really understand about the article and the critical elements. In this unit I also do the portfolio for assignment one and comment about the article from Time magazine, Briefing. In this article stated the argument and evidence. This article is also quite difficult to understand because the use of difficult word and the story is quite complicated.

4.Hazwani, Azila and Siti Farah Diana have done presentation for unit 4. I am still having the difficulties to understand about evidence and argument. However, the presentation helps me to understand it a little bit about the argument or case being stated in text, the evidence provided to support the argument and to know whether the evidence support the argument or not.
