INTRODUCTION

Regarding on ten elements critical literacy that I have learned firstly is topic. In the topic, we have to job down a sentence of what we see based on the picture and headline. The second element is content. This is part that we have to summarize the situation and the story that written by the writer. For example, this part tell about when did it happen, who involved and the led of event. The third element is source. In source, we have to expect where the article might be found. The fourth element is audience, this part going to inform to whom the article is written for. The fifth element is rhetorical function. In the element it shows what are the writers trying to do. For example, in convicted killer, the writer wants to explain to the reader that convicted killer back to work.
The sixth element in critical literacy is purpose. This element is combination of rhetorical function plus audience and topic. For example in convicted killer, the purpose is informing the reader about Deborah Parry, who is free from the criminal because there is no evidence to relate her in the criminal case. The seventh element is perspective. This element shows the writer opinion toward the issue. For example, in convicted killer, the writers condemn Deborah when she still has chances to work even though she was convicted. Next element is positioning. This element shows how the writer describes the participant in the article. In this part, the writers try to influence the reader by position the character. Other than that, impact is a reader opinion toward the article that they have read. When the reader gets the impact, it means the writer has achieved the effectiveness of what they write. Lastly, visual literacy, this part is important for the reader because from the photos and headline the readers can predict what the article is all about.
