Text type: Interview on YouTube

Text purpose: To help understand Millennials and improve well-being through reducing screen time.

Text creator: David Crossman

Date: 10th June 2021

In the video, Simon Sinek talks about multiple things about millennials. Some things he talks about first is parenting. He talks about how parenting has changed and how it changed to what it used to be. How parents don't actually have proper parenting skills which would affect millennials for their future. The second thing Simon Sinek talks about is the technology and social media. Going on social media to check likes or seeing if someone texts you back gives you dopamine. This would make you rely on it more which can hide what you really feeling e.g. depression. The next thing Sinek talks about is impatience, how you could do anything like watching a movie or binge a show, and how you don't need to wait for it. Patience is a life skill everyone needs. People need to realize that you can't get everything you want in an instant.

Critical literacy question: What does the author want us to know? The author wants us to know how social media impacts people, especially in their daily lives.

Text title: Sexual reproduction

Text type: Article

Text purpose: To find and learn about sexual reproduction

Date: 21st June 2021

Critical Literacy question: Why am I reading this text? 

This article talks about sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction needs two parents rather than one for Asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is when the offspring produced by sexual reproduction are similar but not identical. An example of organisms that use the sexual reproduction method is humans. An advantage of asexual reproduction is that they produce a variation. Offsprings that are produced by two parents would be better suited to survive in the habitat this is called variation. A disadvantage of sexual reproduction is that it takes to find and partner and takes a while to process. I am reading this text in science to learn more about what sexual reproduction is and everything to do about it.

Text title: Asexual Reproduction

Text type: Article

Text creator: Scipad

Text Purpose: To learn about the Asexual reproduction

Date: 4 June 2021

Critical literacy question: Why am I reading this:

The article talks about asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is organisms reproducing from only needing one parent. Since asexual reproduction only needs one parent, the variation in the offspring will be identical to the parent. A genetic advantage of asexual reproduction is that it doesn't take time for organisms to find a mate and doesn't take energy either. Although there are advantages, there are also disadvantages as well. For example, since there is no genetic variation, if the environment changes, the offspring won't survive, which will make it harder for them to survive. I am reading this to learn about what asexual reproduction is and how it works.
