Abstract
Success for lifelong learners in the 21st century requires a more active, dynamic, and critical engagement with the diversity of texts inside and outside the classroom. This cornucopia of texts is constantly available for both educators and their students. Especially with the limitless access to texts via different media outlets, acute awareness and vigilance are necessary when certain texts are applied in any classroom. Within a classroom discourse, the development of critical thinking skills can be transformed into a social practice in the global community. Teachers can guide students in challenging established power relationships and social norms and practices, allowing for the growth of a community of participatory learners. Within this community, a competent development of a critical lens thus becomes essential. This lens, therefore, sharpens the learners' skills not only in ―reading‖ the texts within the classroom, but also in applying what they have read in other contexts outside the classroom.
