English 12 (ERWC) Assignments

The Expository Reading and Writing Course was developed by the Cal State University system in order to better prepare graduating seniors for the reading and writing expectations of the college classroom. In lieu of the traditional British Literature courses often taught in 12th grade, this course, which is an elective fourth year of English, is centered on a variety of modules that consist of articles, essays, and literary excerpts. Students hone their critical reading and writing skills, focusing largely on text structure and argument development.

 

While designed for college-bound students, this is not a requirement of any sort. Any student willing to engage in critical reading, thinking, and writing, including a significant amount of work to be completed at home, can be successful in this course.

 

The class has historically been small, allowing for wonderful classroom discussions and ample opportunities for one-on-one support for students. We also have a lot of laughs. I love my seniors!
