Blog 11

For this week we continue our class in Monday with discussing about the last lesson. The last lesson is about positioning in one text. So we continue with the next subtopic which is impact and visual literacy. Miss Syida has explained about both subtopics.

The impact is an effect the text towards the reader. How deep the effect is depending to the using of writing skills in the text. It can make the reader feel sad, happy, angry, confuse and all the feeling that related to the text. More good the writer wrote or reflex the text, more effect can the reader get.

For the example in a text of ‘Please let me go to your school’, the effect that can get after read the text is we will feel sympathy and sad for the situation that happen to the Scarlett which is she cannot enter The Hills Grammar school for the reason, she is disabilities children. In the text, her parents have told about the situation of Scarlett and want to get the right for their daughter. Of course as a reader we will feel that it is discrimination toward the disabilities people. We also feel sad and sympathy toward her. This is the effect that we feel after we read the text.

For the second subtopic is visual literacy. The visual literacy is a graphic, picture, colour or anything that can attract and describe what text is about. It also likes an attraction aspect for the text. Sometimes not all the text has the visual literacy. It just depends on the text. Sometimes by just looking at the visual literacy we can guest what is the topic or the text is all about. It depends on how far the visual can give the effect.

In the example text ‘Please Let Me Go to School’, the visual literacy on the text just shows the picture of big faces of one girl looking at something. It’s not a clear visual and we cannot predict what all is about. The clear visual will help the reader to understand more to the text.

That’s what we have discussed in the class for that day. After that we have share what we have learnt from both subtopic.
