Sac State Catalog Description:
Intensive, semester-long course to help multilingual students use reading, writing, discussion, and research for discovery, intellectual curiosity, and personal academic growth - students will work in collaborative groups to share, critique, and revise their reading and writing. Students will engage in reading and writing as communal and diverse processes; read and write effectively in and beyond the university; develop metacognitive understandings of their reading, writing, and thinking processes; and understand that everyone develops and uses multiple discourses.
Instructor's Course Description:
Instructor's Course Description:
In this class, you'll build your reading and writing skills by thinking critically and creating different types of texts—including ones that use images, sound, and digital tools. We’ll look at how writing works in different communities and how things like genre, audience, and purpose shape what we say and how we say it—both in school and in the world beyond.
Together, we’ll explore how language, images, music, art, and even spaces like schools or neighborhoods carry meaning and reflect power. You’ll learn to ask questions about who creates messages, who they’re for, and what they do in the world. Throughout the semester, you’ll show what you’ve learned by building a Google Sites E-portfolio that highlights your work and growth.
