This popular text articulates a powerful theory of critical
literacy in all its complexity. Critical literacy practices
encourage students to use language to question the everyday world,
interrogate the relationship between language and power, analyze
popular culture and media, understand how power relationships are
socially constructed, and consider actions that can be taken to
promote social justice. By providing both a model for critical
literacy instruction and many examples of how critical practices
can be enacted in daily school life in elementary and middle school
classrooms, "Creating Critical Classrooms" meets a huge need for a
practical, theoretically based text on this topic.
