Talk:Critical literacy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There wasn't an entry for "Critical Literacy" in Wikipedia. I thought since many Australian schools teach this stuff, it should be. I'm not saying I agree with it, I just thought it would be a good idea to at least have an entry for it. I just cut and paste from a handout my school gives to the kids when they hit year 9. I'm really interested to hear any comments.

It is interesting, but for copyright reasons: to satisfy Wikipedia's licensing requirements, you would need your school to license the handout under the GNU Free Documentation License to include so much content from it, see the notice at the very bottom of every page you clicked save on while editing a document: "DO NOT SUBMIT COPYRIGHTED WORK WITHOUT PERMISSION!". --Mysidia 14:35, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I'm a member of the department that created it

And I have permission to publish it. I've had it on my website for quite some time... Further, there is no copyright attributed to the document. I'm quite sure the document falls within the public domain.

I'll look into getting written permission as well.

[edit] So

So if I bung this on the end of the handout

"Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.

And edit the appropriate bits, you'll leave it up?
