Critical Literacy as a Dispostion

Disagreeable

Critical Literacy as a Dispostion

discerning reflective

analytical focused

It is as much an approach to teaching literacy as it is a set of skills, dispositions and strategies that enable us – and our students – “to challenge text and life as we know it” (McLaughlin & DeVoogd, 2004), to become critical consumers and users of information. ”

Ernest Hemingway

built-in automatic crap

Mankato has everything thanks to a freak of nature: the Sclare/Far Fissure. This fissure in the earth's crust takes water seeping through the earth, heats it to well over 165 degrees, and sends it back up to the surface in steam pits and boil holes. The heat from these pits and holes heats the valley air to such an extent that the winter temperature in many Mankato neighborhoods has never dropped below a balmy 70 degrees!!!! Come enjoy our winters!
