Woodstock ⎢ Critical Literacy

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, today I wrote another summary for our weekly reflections. This week I decided to do a summary of a recent topic we covered during Social Studies, this unit was called Woodstock. 

Title: Woodstock 

Woodstock was an event that took place during the Vietnam War in an attempt to bring peace and persuade people that the Vietnam War wasn't a good idea. During the festival numerous musicians and bands performed, each mentioning something about the war and peace. Woodstock left a huge impact on the music industry opening up to new genres of music. 

Text Type: Article 

Text Creator: Kiddle Encyclopedia 

Text Purpose: To inform 

Why is the text written in the way it is?

The text was written to inform readers about an event that had impacted the world. The text structures the text so it will easily be read so that we can understand the text that we are reading about. It features many sentences about how they even came to be famous and the purpose of the event. This shows us the text was written in a way where it is easily read and understood.
