Critical literacy is more than just understanding what we are reading. We have to look deeper to find the author's message and to find out why they wrote about the topic. Critical literacy is about asking questions, looking at a different point of view, and asking "Is everyone included in what we are reading?"

The reason why critical literacy is important outside of the classroom, is that the students can engage in social interaction with projects to improve their communities. By taking the critical literacy outside the classroom, students can participate in society based on the information they discovered from research. Once the students understand their community, they may engage in projects to improve an area that is lacking in their community.
