COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course combines the English IV Common Core Content Standards and the Expository Reading and Writing curriculum established by the UC/CSU system. The goal of this class is to prepare college-bound seniors for the literacy demands of higher education. The course's 12 modules, which include a wide variety of expository texts and some literature, emphasize the in-depth study of expository, analytical, and argumentative reading and writing. The University of California (UC) has approved the ERWC for area B credit (of the A-G requirements), and the Course meets college preparatory requirements for both the UC and the CSU. By the end of the course, students will be expected to use this process independently when reading unfamiliar texts and writing in response to them.
