The ANZAC'S ⼁Critical Literacy

 Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, today is another reflection session and I decided to do a reflection about a topic that we have studied during Social Studies. The topic was about the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Amry Corps) and how their sacrifices made them known. 

Title: Anzac Day : Page 2 - The Anzacs + The Gallipoli Campaign : Page 7 - Soldiers' experience 

The text was part of an article that consisted of different information that included different information about Anzac Day and how it came to be. The part that I read mentioned information about how the Australian and New Zealand soldiers went to Gallipoli and fought. Then it mentioned the other wars they participated in. 

Text Type: Article 

Text Creator: New Zealand History

Text purpose: To inform viewers. 

How does the text construct a version of reality?

This text shows how Australian and New Zealand soldiers were brave enough to participate in a war that decided the fate of the world. It shows the reality of being in the war and how many sacrifices they had to go through for their country and for the world. But these weren't the only things they had suffered, living in trenches and sleeping when there were firearms and bombing happening wasn't the best situation to sleep in. The environment was also bad to live in as there were constant shortages of water, the food that was shipped to them was difficult to get and the space they lived in was quite small for all of the soldiers. In short, both articles showed how harsh the war was to the soldiers and how much they have suffered and sacrificed throughout the whole campaign.
