Critical Literacy
Critical literacies are not new among scholars and researchers
in literacy education. However, due to different theoretical bases,
there is no unique definition of “critical literacy”. In their
broadest sense, critical literacies refer to the ability to read texts
going beyond their superficial meaning. That is, it implies
approaching texts in a reflective way to understand working
ideologies such as power, inequality, and injustice. In the realm of
critical literacy, text is understood as a “vehicle through which
individuals communicate with one another using the codes and
conventions of society” (Robinson & Robinson, 2003, p. 3). Texts,
in this sense, can be either songs, novels, poems, conversations,
pictures, movies, and so on. […]
Hence, the critical literacies approach is generally contrasted
with functional literacy. The former views literacy as a social
practice, while the latter views literacy as the mastery of linguistic
skills. In addition, Manning (1999) developed a framework to
distinguish critical literacies from functional literacy by
establishing the difference between their respective ideology
purpose, literacy curriculum, and instruction. On the one hand,
the main objective of functional literacy is to produce skilled
workers for the marketplace. Consequently, the curriculum is
restrictive and the instruction is individualistic and competitive.
On the other hand, for critical literacies, texts are not neutral but
marked by power messages, dominating interests, and hidden
agendas. In order to deconstruct these texts and unveil their
ideological messages and power relationships, the curriculum is
to employ materials from the everyday world as text and analytic
tools.
Critical scholars have overtly supported the idea that there is
not a single procedure for incorporating critical literacies into the
classroom, given that the particularities of the context where the
foreign language is taught differ from one another. Thus, an
approach to critical literacies “needs to be continually redefined
in practice” (Comber, 2001, p. 274).

Balloons
Have you ever wondered what keeps a hot air balloon
flying? The same principle that keeps food frozen in
the open chest freezers at the grocery store allows
hot air balloons to fly. It’s a very basic principle: Hot air
rises and cold air falls. So while the super-cooled air
in the grocery store freezer settles down around the
food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up, keeping the balloon floating above the ground. In order to
understand more about how this principle works in
hot air balloons, it helps to know more about hot air
balloons themselves.
A hot air balloon has three major parts: the basket, the
burner, and the envelope. The basket is where passengers ride. The basket is usually made of wicker. This
ensures that it will be comfortable and add little extra
weight. The burner is positioned above the passenger’s heads and produces a huge flame to heat the air
inside the envelope. The envelope is the colorful fabric
balloon that holds the hot air. When the air inside the
envelope is heated, the balloon rises.
The pilot can control the up-and-down movements of
the hot air balloon by regulating the heat in the envelope. To ascend, the pilot heats the air in the envelope.
When the pilot is ready to land, the air in the balloon is
allowed to cool and the balloon becomes heavier than
air. This makes the balloon descend.
Before the balloon is launched, the pilot knows which
way the wind is blowing. This means that she has a
general idea........................... which way the balloon will
go. But, sometimes the pilot can actually control the
direction that the balloon flies while.......................................... flight.
This is because the air above the ground is sectioned .........................................layers in which the direction of the wind
may be different. So even though the pilot can’t steer
the balloon, she can fly or higher or lower into a different layer ......................................air. Some days the difference
between the direction of the wind between layers is
negligible. But other days the difference is so strong
that it can actually push the balloon in a completely
different direction!
Choose the correct alternative according to the

Before the balloon is launched, the pilot knows which
way the wind is blowing. This means that she has a
general idea........................... which way the balloon will
go. But, sometimes the pilot can actually control the
direction that the balloon flies while.......................................... flight.
This is because the air above the ground is sectioned .........................................layers in which the direction of the wind
may be different. So even though the pilot can’t steer
the balloon, she can fly or higher or lower into a different layer ......................................air. Some days the difference
between the direction of the wind between layers is
negligible. But other days the difference is so strong
that it can actually push the balloon in a completely
different direction!
According to the text, if the hot air balloon pilot
wants to change directions during flight, what might
he or she do to accomplish this?

Have you ever wondered what keeps a hot air balloon
flying? The same principle that keeps food frozen in
the open chest freezers at the grocery store allows
hot air balloons to fly. It’s a very basic principle: Hot air
rises and cold air falls. So while the super-cooled air
in the grocery store freezer settles down around the
food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up, keeping the balloon floating above the ground. In order to
understand more about how this principle works in
hot air balloons, it helps to know more about hot air
balloons themselves.
A hot air balloon has three major parts: the basket, the
burner, and the envelope. The basket is where passengers ride. The basket is usually made of wicker. This
ensures that it will be comfortable and add little extra
weight. The burner is positioned above the passenger’s heads and produces a huge flame to heat the air
inside the envelope. The envelope is the colorful fabric
balloon that holds the hot air. When the air inside the
envelope is heated, the balloon rises.
The pilot can control the up-and-down movements of
the hot air balloon by regulating the heat in the envelope. To ascend, the pilot heats the air in the envelope.
When the pilot is ready to land, the air in the balloon is
allowed to cool and the balloon becomes heavier than
air. This makes the balloon descend.

Text
In our modern world, there are many factors
that place the wellbeing of the planet in
jeopardy. While some people have the opinion
that environmental problems are just a natural
occurrence, others believe that human beings
have a huge impact on the environment.
Regardless of your viewpoint, take into
consideration the following factors that place
our environment as well as the planet Earth in
danger.
Global warming or climate change is a major
contributing factor to environmental damage.
Because of global warming, we have seen an
increase in melting ice caps, a rise in sea levels,
and the formation of new weather patterns.
These weather patterns have caused stronger
storms, droughts, and flooding in places that
they formerly did not occur.
Air pollution is primarily caused as a result of
excessive and unregulated emissions of carbon
dioxide into the air. Pollutants mostly emerge
from the burning of fossil fuels in addition to
chemicals, toxic substances, and improper
waste disposal. Air pollutants are absorbed into
the atmosphere, and they can cause smog, a
combination of smoke and fog, in valleys as
well as produce acidic precipitation in areas far
away from the pollution source.
In many areas, people and local governments
do not sustainably use their natural resources.
Mining for natural gases, deforestation, and
even improper use of water resources can have
tremendous effects on the environment. While
these strategies often attempt to boost local
economies, their effects can lead to oil spills,
interrupted animal habitats, and droughts.
Ultimately, the effects of the modern world on
the environment can lead to many problems.
Human beings need to consider the
repercussions of their actions, trying to reduce,
reuse, and recycle materials while establishing
environmentally sustainable habits. If
measures are not taken to protect the
environment, we can potentially witness the
extinction of more endangered species,
worldwide pollution, and a completely
uninhabitable planet.
According to the text, which could be the best
title for the article?
